Five Nigerians yesterday approached the Federal High court No 1 sitting in Kano to compel President Goodluck Jonathan, and President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, to unravel the mystery surrounding the $9.3 million (N1.5 bn)confiscated by the South African government.
The plaintiffs, led by Dr Saidu Ahmed Dukawa who instituted the matter, are seeking to compel President Jonathan to explain the rationale behind the alleged transaction that culminated into the seizure of the money by the South African authorities.
Their prayers includes the handing out of the details that would clarify the tag of illegal deal embellished on the transaction by the South Africans, while further urging the court to compel the president to disclose the identity of those arrested in the possession of the huge sum that was confiscated.
