Foremost human rights activist, Femi Falana, SAN, has
disclosed why the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, must comply with the Supreme
Court order regarding the currency swap crisis.
Falana, in a statement on Thursday, said the apex bank
should not fall for the reports and opinions indicating that it could ignore
the Supreme Court’s judgement restraining it from enforcing the ban on the old
Naira notes.
In his statement titled, “Why CBN Must Obey Ex Parte Order
Of Supreme Court”, he highlighted many cases supporting the court’s decision.
He asked CBN and its management to allow the judgement to
run its entire course in the interim, pending an order of dismissal filed by
the Federal Government.
Falana warned doing otherwise would spell doom and chaos for
the country.
“In the interim, the Federal Government of Nigeria and its agencies, including the Central Bank of Nigeria, are bound by the valid and subsisting ex parte order of the Supreme Court of Nigeria until it is set aside by the same court. The alternative is to compound the ongoing anarchy and chaos in the land,” he said.
