Court stands firm on its decision not to reinstall Sanusi as CBN governor

Justice Gabriel Kolawole of the federal high court yesterday has refused the ex parte motion
brought before it by Sanusi on the grounds that it would be
unfair to grant such an application without affording the
respondents a hearing.
Sanusi had filed the application on Monday asking the court
to make an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the
defendants from obstructing, disturbing, stopping or
preventing him in any manner whatsoever, from performing
the functions as the governor of the CBN and enjoying in
full, the statutory powers and privileges attached to the
office.
Urging the court to expeditiously grant his interlocutory
application, he maintained that any delay might cause
irreparable and serious damage and mischief on him in the
exercise of his statutory duties as the CBN governor.
But Justice Gabriel Kolawole in refusing the application
said he was of the view that the court had not only the
judicial powers to declare the suspension unlawful, but to
order that the plaintiff be returned to perform his duties as
the governor of the CBN.
