The three-man panel of justices led by the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban- Mensem said, the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the suit, because doing so, will amount to sitting on its judgment.
The sum of Ten million Naira was also awarded against the appellant, in favour of Sylvester Ezeokenwa and the All Progressives Grand Alliance.
