The Supreme Court late this Friday morning, January 1, 2023, dismissed an appeal brought before it by members of the family of the late military ruler, General Sani Abacha, seeking to stop moves to re-open the criminal forfeiture proceedings against the former ex-Head of State and some members of his family over their alleged complicity in the looting of the nation’s treasury during Abacha’s administration.
A Nigerian Tribune breaking news says the ruling was unanimous.
According to it, “In a unanimous judgement of the apex court read by Justice Emmanuel Agim held that the concurrent findings of facts and in the matter are unassailable and consequently dismissed the appeal and ordered parties to bear the cost of the legal action.”
