“Granting the application to allow amici curiae , including the AGF; the President of the Nigerian Bar Association , Yakubu Maikyau ; a former Minister of Justice, Chief Kanu Agabi , and a former NBA President, Joseph Daudu , to participate in the hearing of the said preliminary objection would not prejudice the court or EFCC,” he said.
