SC/CV/999/2022

JUDGEMENT DELIVERED BY ADAMU JAURO , JSC

I was availed a draft copy of the lead judgment delivered by my learned brother, Moore Aseimo Abraham Adumein, JSC. Having carefully reviewed the record of appeal and the ruling of the Court below, I cannot help but be in total agreement with the thorough reasoning and inevitable conclusion reached by my Lord, to the effect that the appeal has merit. I therefore join my learned brother in allowing same.

Consequently, the ruling of the lower Court dismissing the Appellant’s motion filed on 12th March, 2021 is hereby set aside. In its stead, an order striking out the said motion is entered.

Appeal allowed.
