Presenting his brief in the matter, the lawyer to the appellant, Barrister Eleja, SAN explained that the judgement of the lower court on the matter is not substantial enough since the court also discharged and acquainted three of the defendants, urging the court to uphold the appeal.

Meanwhile, in the brief of the lawyer to the respondent at the Appealate Court on Tuesday, Barrister Femi Falana, SAN, urged the court to dismiss the appeal, expressing the optimism that Justice will be served in the matter.

Responding to journalists who besieged him after the court session, Barrister Femi Falana, SAN, said, “his expectation is that justice would be done at the end of the case. The judges will consider the evidence before them as the briefs of agreements of counsels and then, pronounced their judgements. All we can only say, may God guide them because we can’t preempt them. That will be contempt of court”, he explained. 

Asking him about the activities in the court, Falana queried if journalists were not there. Stressing it, he confirmed that they were in the court, in other words, urging them to rely on their observations.
