The Appeal Court Abuja has set aside all orders restraining the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and the Accountant General of the Federation from releasing funds to the Rivers State Government.
The three-member panel, presided by Justice Hamman Barka, held that the subject matter was not within the jurisdiction of the court relating to the revenue of the state, adding that it was unconstitutional to make orders restricting Rivers State government to receive funds due to the state from its consolidated revenue fund.
