The Supreme Court has
reserved judgment in the suit filed by 16 states challenging the
constitutionality of the laws establishing the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) and two others to a date to be communicated to the parties.
At the resumed hearing on Tuesday, Imo, Bauchi,
and Osun states joined the suit as co-plaintiffs while Anambra, Ebonyi, and
Adamawa states announced their decisions to withdraw their suits.
The trio’s suits were struck out, accordingly, by
the court.
The Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef
Fagbemi (SAN) who was present in court as the defendant, had craved the court’s
indulgence to take the process they filed on Tuesday morning.
Justice Uwani Abba-Aji thereby granted leave to
the defendant to use the reply on point of law filed on Tuesday.
