RIDER: Sanusi Challenges his removal in court

Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Lamido Sanusi, has reacted to his suspension by President Goodluck Jonathan, vowing to challenge the suspension in court.
Sanusi, who spoke on CNBC Africa few hours after his suspension on Thursday, said challenging his removal in court was not to ensure that he returned to the office but to preserve the integrity and independence of the apex financial institution.
He equally dismissed the sundry allegations made against his leadership at the CBN, saying the allegations were not new.
Sanusi described his suspension as political, wondering why the Presidency had waited for this long to remove him from office.
