Lawan, in the suit, seeks to terminate the $3 million bribery charges brought against him by the Federal Government.

Delivering judgment in the appeal filed against the ruling of an Abuja High Court, which held that Lawan had a case to answer, Justice Olabisi Ige held that the decision of the lower court was well founded.
