SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 9 – The
Federal Republic of Nigeria in
March asked U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Lorna G. Schofield for
subpoenas to Citibank, HSBC,
JPMorgan and other
banks.
On July 9 Judge
Schofield held a proceeding in
which it was argued that
Nigeria should have disclosed
it would use the information
in the UK. Inner City Press
covered the
proceeding.
An entity called
Process and Industrial
Developments Limited was

award that P&ID obtained
against Nigeria in
2017."
Judge
Schofield ordered the parties
to meet and confer and file
simultaneous letter briefs on
July 21.
