Court Bars CBN, AGF, Others From Releasing Allocation To Rivers
The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Wednesday, restrained the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, from further releasing monthly financial allocations to Rivers State government.
The order also affected the Accountant-General of the Federation, AGF, Zenith Bank and Access Bank where the state government also banks.
Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, in a judgment, held that the receipt and disbursement of monthly allocations since January 2024 by Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers was a constitutional somersault and aberration that must not be allowed to continue.
The judge said that Fubara’s action in implementing unlawful budget had smacked gross violations of the 1999 Constitution he swore to protect.
She, consequently, ordered the CBN, AGF, Zenith Bank and Access Bank from further allowing Fubara to access money from the Consolidated Revenue and Federation Account.
