The NGF in the letter written on its behalf by its lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), said the request was predicated on a court action instituted to “challenge the decisions of the court relating to or connected with payments of legal and consultancy fees arising from London Club Debt, Buy Back and London Club Debt Exit Payment, which is the fulcrum of the judgment of the Federal High Court, Abuja in Suit Nos FHC/ABJ/CS/130/13 — LINAS International Ltd & ORS.Vs The Federal Government of Nigeria & ORS.
