A Plateau State High Court sitting in Jos has ordered seizure of a property belonging to the Jos branch of the Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN).
According to the seizure notice signed by the registrar, the property seized is an Innoson IVM double cabin vehicle with the registration number KUJ696DD and chassis number LTA12H2P4P9103551.
The seizure was due to a suit between John Eche Okpe, Esq and the CBN, and was ordered by Justice N.D. Shaseet. The seizure notice was made available to newsmen yesterday in Jos.
John Eche Okpe Esq., a legal practitioner, said the case with number PLD/J397/m/2023 obtained judgment against the federal government and some of its agencies and sought to as well enforce the judgment via proceedings against the CBN.
The garnishee order is to the tune of N10 million as made absolute by Justice N.D. Shaseet of the Plateau State High Court on November 1, 2023. Counsel to CBN, A. A. Adewole, refused to react or comment on the issue when contacted.
