The Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Tuesday, dismissed a case brought by Chief Malcolm Emokiniovo Omirhobo challenging the inclusion of Arabic inscriptions on Nigerian currency – naira.

Citing the precedent set in Chief Gani Fawehinmi vs. Akilu (1998) 2NWLR (Part 102), 122 at 169, Justice Yellim Bogoro of the court ruled that while Omirhobo has the standing to bring the action, he failed to provide sufficient evidence that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) acted in bad faith in designing, issuing, printing, and distributing the naira notes with Arabic inscriptions.

Consequently, the court dismissed the suit.
