The Court of Appeal in Abuja has queried the competence of an appeal brought by the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde and some principal officers of the state against an order of a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) ordering them to pay the outstanding balance of N3,374,889,425.60 (N3.4b) from the N4,874,889,425.60 (N4.

9b) debt, aring from a May 7, 2021 judgement of the Supreme Court. At the commencement of proceedings in the appeal, marked: CA/ABJ/CV/595/2023 a three-member panel of the court asked appellants' lawyer, Ayodele Akintunde if what he brought was proper for the Court of Appeal to sit and review a case that had been decided by the Supreme Court.

Ebong of the High Court of the FCT issued a garnishee order absolute, directing Makinde and others to pay the balance of the judgement debt on an installment basis, beginning with N1,374,889,425.60 to be paid immediately. Justice Ebong ordered them to subsequently pay the remaining N2b at N500m quarterly, with the first installment payable on July 31, 2023, a decision Makinde and others are now challenging at the Court of Appeal.
