The suit was delivered today, December 13, 2024 by Justice Barka.
The Appeal Court’s verdict nullified the earlier judgment, stating that the Federal High Court overstepped its bounds by interfering in a state’s appropriation issue. According to Justice Barka, the listing of federal agencies does not grant the Federal High Court unrestricted jurisdiction.
Reacting, Hon. Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, spokesperson for the Opposition Lawmakers Coalition, praised the Appeal Court’s decision, saying it has averted anarchy and constitutional disorder planned by the pro-Wike group.
