A Federal High Court in Lagos, presided over by Justice Akintayo Aluko, has dismissed a suit challenging the legality of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)’s Cashless Policy.
Two men were on Tuesday docked in an Iyaganku Magistrates’ Court in Ibadan for allegedly stealing a housewife’s purse.
The police charged Francis Raphael, 38 and Adekunle Olaniyi, 26, whose addresses were not given with conspiracy and theft.
