Court orders CBN, Zenith Bank to refund stamp duty three-year deductions
Ade Adesomoju, Abuja
The Federal High Court in Asaba, Delta State, has ordered the refund of the cumulative N50 stamp duty charges deducted from the account of a customer of Zenith Bank Plc and remitted to the Central Bank of Nigeria for over a period of three years.
Justice Nnamdi Dimgba ruled that the continued stamp duty deductions from bank customers were a flagrant violation of the subsisting judgments of the Lagos Divisions of the Court of Appeal and the Federal High Court.
The judge also awarded N2m damages in favour of the Zenith Bank customer, Mr Rupert Irikefe, against the bank and the CBN “for the wilful, flagrant, arbitrary and contemptuous disregard of the law and or jungle actions.”
