Naira Swap Crisis: Nine States Join Suit In Supreme Court As Edo, Bayelsa Oppose

The Supreme Court has joined nine States as parties in the suit filed by Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara challenging the naira swap policy of the Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government.

Naija News reports that the nine-member panel of the Supreme Court, led by Justice John Okoro, joined the Attorneys General of Katsina Lagos, Ondo, Ogun, Ekiti and Sokoto States as co-plaintiffs, while the Attorneys General of Edo and Bayelsa states were joined as co-respondents.

The court ordered the original plaintiffs and the respondent – the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) – to amend the processes already filed to reflect the new parties.
