The Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal by Aminu Sule Lamido, son of former Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido, challenging the forfeiture of $40,000 to the Federal Government.
In a ruling delivered on Friday, a five-member panel of the apex court, headed by Justice Inyang Okoro, held that the appeal lacked merit and upheld the decisions of the lower courts.
The unanimous judgment, delivered by Justice Adamu Jauro and read by Justice Abubakar Sadiq Umar, described the appeal as “doomed to fail” and affirmed the forfeiture of the undeclared funds to the Federal Government.
The ruling effectively brings to a close Aminu Lamido’s legal challenge over the $40,000.
