Court Declines Jurisdiction in Sanusis Case

A Federal High Court in Abuja yesterday declined jurisdiction on a suit filed by the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, challenging his suspension by President Goodluck Jonathan.
Sanusi was suspended from office  on February 20.

He was dissatisfied with the suspension and filed the suit.
His ex-parte application asking the court to order his reinstatement was refused by the court.

In a ruling that lasted for about two hours, Justice Gabriel Kolawole upheld the submissions of the counsel to the president, Dr. Fabian Ajogwu (SAN), and that of the counsel to the Attorney General of the Federation, (AGF), Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) to the effect that the case bordered on employee-employer relationship and that the proper forum for the case to be heard was the industrial court
