@UsmanAbidemiEsq Your position is apt my brother, however if you read the post you would see that it’s based on a matter commenced by writ of summons and not the one that requires filing of counter affidavit.

@ataweweattorney I’m not arguing that court cannot pass obsrv and opinion I know very much what an obiter is sir. My point is Supreme Court after holding dat an appeal is INCOMPETENT would not use “assuming the appeal is not incompetent” and go into the merit of the appeal.

[Ibrahim Khalil-ur-Rahman @ElejaIbrahim]

@ataweweattorney I have read the judgement and the judgement was decided on merit, it was dismissed as lacking in merit.

[Ibrahim Khalil-ur-Rahman @ElejaIbrahim]

@ataweweattorney Is it this Pillars (Nig.) v. Desbordes (2021) 12 NWLR (Pt. 1789) 122 or there’s another one

[Ibrahim Khalil-ur-Rahman @ElejaIbrahim]

@ataweweattorney I’m opening to learning from you sir, I will be glad if you can refer me to a judgement where it happened that way. I’m still learning

EFCC are only required to initiate proceedings by attaching the property and deposing to an affidavit stating a reasonable suspicion that the assets were derived from unlawful activities, they sit back and watch as you struggled to swim your way out.

[Ibrahim Khalil-ur-Rahman @ElejaIbrahim]

I am not privy to the identities of the counsel who handled the matter, however, it would be unfair and rather dismissive to label them as “lazy.” Such a characterization undermines the considerable effort typically required in forfeiture proceedings, which are among the most…

[Abdul @iam_moak]

Oceangates lawyers were too lazy.

What level of rookie mistake is this?

[Ibrahim Khalil-ur-Rahman @ElejaIbrahim]

complex matters to litigate.

In these cases, the burden rests heavily on the respondent to convincingly establish that the property or funds in question were acquired through legitimate means and required to give detailed accounting of every penny.

@insideilorin_ This picture you used is that of Justice Ahmed Belgore and not Justice Alfa

[Ibrahim Khalil-ur-Rahman @ElejaIbrahim]

@Solibarlop In Adelami’s, we tried every possible argument, logical and otherwise, to convince the Court to allow an adverse party challenge issue as to certificate, but the Court said no.

[Ibrahim Khalil-ur-Rahman @ElejaIbrahim]

@Solibarlop certificate, not from the date of its publication.

[Ibrahim Khalil-ur-Rahman @ElejaIbrahim]

@The_Ogundipe Another point to note is that the cause of action accrued from the date the certificate was submitted, not from the date of its publication. Head or tail, politicians have turned the law into a shield behind which they perpetrate all kinds of misconduct.

[Ibrahim Khalil-ur-Rahman @ElejaIbrahim]

@brodaoluProMax @The_Ogundipe @Nativechieff A judge may only decline to consider other issues where the determination of a preliminary issue has substantially disposed of the entire case before the court such as where the court resolves the question of jurisdiction or a breach of fair hearing.

[Ibrahim Khalil-ur-Rahman @ElejaIbrahim]

@The_Ogundipe @Nativechieff You are right sir, not resolving an issue raised in address can lead to upturning the whole judgement on appeal not to talk of ignoring entirety of final address by a judge.

[Ibrahim Khalil-ur-Rahman @ElejaIbrahim]

@TheIdLawrence There’s also Aliyu Kabir, SAN who is a Kadi of Kebbi state sharia court of appeal

[Ibrahim Khalil-ur-Rahman @ElejaIbrahim]

@UsmanAbidemiEsq Thanks for the advice sir, let me clear sharp sharp

[Ibrahim Khalil-ur-Rahman @ElejaIbrahim]

@IgbominaTSO @The_Ogundipe Nibo, I don hibernate again.
