All sales and disposals of assets made by the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, under the regulations were also nullified by the court.The order was made by Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa following a suit FHC/L/CS/40/2021 filed by the plaintiff, Incorporated Trustees of HEDA Resource Centre.
Malami had in November 2020 set up an inter-ministerial committee for the disposal of forfeited assets, following a directive by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari in October 2018. The AGF’s power to set up the committee was challenged by HEDA, through its counsel, Omotayo Olatubosun, who argued that the regulations conflicted with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Act, Trafficking in Persons Enforcement and Administrative Act, 2015, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency Act, 2004 and Independent Corrupt Practices Commission Act, 2000, among others, on the matter of disposal of final forfeited assets.
The AGF’s preliminary objection argued by its counsel, Tolu Mokunolu, was dismissed by the Court which granted the nine reliefs sought by the plaintiff. Justice Lewis-Allagoa held, “I am entirely in agreement with the submission of counsels to the plaintiff that the Asset Tracing, Recovery and Management Regulations, 2019 are contrary to the statutory provisions of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC Act, Trafficking in Persons Cohabitation Enforcement and Administration Act, NDLEA Act and Immigration Act.

Court declines Emefiele’s request, summons INEC, AGFEmefiele on Monday, through his lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN), told the Federal High Court in Abuja that he can run for the post of the president without vacating his position as the apex bank governor but the court declined the request. Many of these aspirants just want to occupy the office, they don't even have an inkling on its demands and responsibilities. Just like Buhari, they just want to get without necessarily doing any good thing. Standing the law up side down... Nigerian lawyers with shallow understanding of the constitution The same constitution warrants him access to aspiration, and denies him access to aspiration at the same time. What a country! What a constitution! Can we continue with this complex constitution?
