Protesters on Wednesday, stormed the headquarters of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), as well as and the office of the attorney-general of the federation (AGF) in Abuja over a ruling of the supreme court on the deadline for use of old naira notes.
Recall that a seven-member panel of the apex court led by John Okoro, on Wednesday, temporarily restrained the federal government from restricting the use of the old naira notes after February 10.
The ex parte application was filed by governors of Kaduna, Kogi, and Zamfara states.
Speaking with reporters in Abuja, Obed Agu, one of the leaders of the protesters, said President Muhammadu Buhari should issue an executive order maintaining the aforementioned date as the deadline for the use of old naira notes.
