An officer of the status of the federal attorney general should be the last person to be seen canvassing the claim. That action is disrespectful of the court and derogatory of the independence of the judiciary. Malami should retrace his steps accordingly and allow due process of court to prevail.
It is noteworthy that the same Justice Ekwo had in November last year restrained the Federal Government from making any deduction from the Federation Account for the purpose of settling the contentious consultants’ fees pending the resolution of the issues on the matter before the court.

Parties who have submitted to the jurisdiction of the court are under a legal duty not to do anything to frustrate or make nonsense a possible court order.
