The Supreme Court has struck out a lawsuit filed by the Sani Abacha family seeking access to the looted funds which they and the late Nigerian head of state stashed in foreign bank accounts, Njenje Media News reports.
The Justice Sylvester Ngwuta led five-man panel dismissed the case for lacking in merit. In the lead judgment prepared by Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, the Supreme court panel held that Mr Ali Abacha’s case was not different from that of his brother, Abba Mohammed Sani, which was also dismissed by the apex court on February 7, 2020.
