Yari’s Assets: Court Orders EFCC, AGF to Maintain Status Quo
Justice Nkeonye Maha of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court yesterday ordered all parties in the suit filed by former Zamfara State governor, AbdulAziz Yari, challenging seizure of his assets by the federal government to maintain status quo pending the determination of the main suit.
But the court instead of granting the restraining order held that the respondents be served with the court processes within 48 hours and adjourned further proceedings to August 30. Abubakar stated that the AGF was a nominal party in the matter because the investigation of the former governor was being solely undertaken by the EFCC.
Justice Maha, in a short ruling agreed that the matter cannot go on because of the late filing of counter affidavit by the two respondents.The Judge directed parties in the suit not to take any action that will impede the administration of justice as it relates to the instant suit. “These individuals thus decided to carry out a vendetta and revenge against the applicant including instigating the respondents against the applicant upon their spurious conclusion without evidence that he was guilty of corrupt practices as former governor of Zamfara state and was in breach of the Code of Conduct Act.
