The Federal high court today asked Dr Lamido Sanusi to accept his fate and go back home.

Court maintains Lamido Sanusi's suspention

 Former CBN Governor, Dr Lamido Sanusi remains suspended.
The Kano prince whom had gone to the Federal high court to challenge his suspension by President Goodluck Ebere Jonathan was today asked to go home and accept his fate

Sanusi who has never hidden his desire to succeed the Emir of Kano Alhaji Dr Ado Abdullahi Bayero who ascended the throne in October 1963 after the demise of Muhammed Inuwa who ruled for three months following the dethronement in 1963 of Muhammed Sanusi who happened to be Ado Bayero's half brother has so much to fall back and wait for.

In the ruling spanning over 2 hours, Honourable Justice 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, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN. In his Preliminary Objection filed in opposition to the Plaintiff’s Originating Summons, Learned Counsel to the President, Dr. Fabian Ajogwu, SAN argued that the Federal High Court lacks Jurisdiction to entertain the suit between Mallam Sanusi and the President since it bothers on Labour matters. Accordingly, he had urged the Court to decline Jurisdiction on it. Towing the same vein, the Counsel to the Attorney-General of the Federation sued as the 2nd Defendant, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN had in the hearing of the matter urged the Honourable Judge to wash his hands off the case as the Court lacked Jurisdiction to entertain the suit.

Upholding the submission of Learned Counsel to the Defendants, the Honourable Court declined Jurisdiction and accordingly referred the matter to the National Industrial Court. The Learned Judge in the course of delivering the Ruling faulted the submissions of Counsel to Mallam Sanusi, Mr. Kola Awodein, SAN and Mr AB Mahmoud SAN who in their pleadings had said that Mallam Sanusi was not an employee of the Federal Government but that of the Board of the Central Bank of Nigeria, which he incidentally headed. Upholding the arguments of the Counsel to the Inspector General of Police, Mr Solomon Umoh SAN, the Court also struck out the name of the IGP sued as 3rd Defendant holding that there was no cause of action against the Inspecto General of Police..
