(Delivering the Leading Judgment): The Appellant at the Court below (HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE, KOGI STATE) claimed against the Respondents jointly and severally in Suit No. TANI YUSUF HASSAN, J.C.A. As Fortesgue, J. put it in Dr. Bentley’s Case (R. v. Chancellor of Cambridge) (1923) Str. Agbane Clan could not have fair shares because it committed a crime against the customs and traditions of Ojoku for which it was banned from ascending to the throne of Onu Ojoku until necessary cleansing rituals of appeasement were performed. Apart from the above relief in paragraph 26b of the claim which succeeds and judgment is entered for the claimant on this relief (b), the claimant is not entitled to the other reliefs highlighted above (i.e.) The test is that of the perception by an ordinary reasonable man. “It has been held that it is trite law, that appeals to the Appellate Courts are by way of rehearing. See Section 167(d) of the Evidence Act 2011: 2. Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello. The settled position of the law is that oral or parole evidence cannot be used to displace a written statement or acts of public officer that are or is in writing. The Report of the 3 man committee was not tendered and there is nothing to show that the Appellant was never invited by the 1st Respondent to make representation nor was he queried. I refer to the following cases:- issue of CURSE and that such failure to challenge Appellant then should estop 6th Respondent from raising the issue now.

Appellant’s disqualification. He drew attention to page 857 of the record where he said the 6th Respondent denied existence of ANE OKUTA in OJOKU kingdom. It is not within the powers of the Appellate Court to encroach upon that privilege by way of interfering with the Trial Judge’s findings unless they are shown to be perverse, unsupported by evidence or based on evidence not legally admissible.”, It must also be said that where as in this case that the major complaints under this issue are that the lower Court did not make use of the documentary evidence tendered by the Appellant and failed to invoke the doctrine of issue estoppels against the Respondents using Exhibit 12 and preferring its contents over and above Exhibit D32 heavily relied upon by the Respondents to contend that the curse placed on Appellant’s family by the Community disentitles the Appellant to vie for ONU OJOKU Chieftaincy throne or Stool, this Court is in the same position with the trial Court when it comes to evaluation of documentary evidence. The learned Counsel to the two set of Respondents submitted that it did not occasion a miscarriage of justice. In conclusion,he urge all well-meaning of Yagba west and kogi at large to queue behind Governor yahyah Bello as he lead the people of the state to build a stronger bigger and greater kogi state of our dream. “The allegation of curse leveled against Appellant is no longer tenable as the late Onu Ojoku, Alhaji Abu Ademu testified before the Council that Ogbago Ruling Clan had already performed the necessary sacrifice for pardon and had since been pardon accordingly.”. ODIFE v. ANIEMEKA (1992) 7 SCNJ 337 AT 339 & 350; 7 of 1992.

The findings and acceptance of recommendation of Appellant for the ONU OJOKU throne by the KOGI STATE COUNCIL OF CHIEFS in EXHIBIT 12 is perfectly in order. The learned Counsel to the Appellant stated that the learned trial Judge did not consider the issue as to whether the removal of Appellant as Onu Ojoku on 29th June, 2004 6y the 1st Respondent breached the principle of fair hearing. The Appellant’s Reply to the two sets of Respondent under Issue 4 is a reharsh of main argument in his Brief of Argument. KARIMU OLUJINLE v. BELLO ADEAGBO (1988) 2 NWLR (Pt. 1025) 425 @ 618 E-F, (2007) 1 SCM 1, held thus:- He urged the Court to resolve issue one against Respondents.

This town is an ancient town bordering Kogi and Kwara States. It is also relevant to state that Appellant was appointed by the Military Administrator of Kogi State Col. P.U.N.

He relied on the cases of:- The learned Counsel to Appellant was right in his submission that the issue relating to breach of the right to fair hearing of the Appellant by the failure of the three man panel set up by 1st Respondent over the validity of appointment to the Stool of ONU OJOKU was not pronounced upon by the learned trial Judge. 2 paragraph 4 it was stated:-, “4. 7.7 In the light of the foregoing and in accordance with Schedule V of the Kogi State Chiefs (Appointment, Deposition and Establishment of Traditional Councils) Law No. See CHIEF NYA EDIM EKONG v. CHIEF ASUQUO E. OTOP & ORS (2014) 11 NWLR (Pt. 2. 1078) 465. ATTORNEY GENERAL AND COMMISSIONER FOR JUSTICE, KOGI STATE ?The trial Court erred in law when it utilized oral evidence from the bar after filing and adoption of parties final address from counsel to the 6th. Whether the trial Court was correct in law when it held that Exhibit 12 which is the proceeding of the Kogi State Council of Chiefs is a product of political manipulation by inference with the evidence on record to sustain it and has not thereby occasioned a miscarriage of justice. The pressure is that without reason to us he said 6th Defendant should be debeaded by the Attah. 2) 42 AT 70. The deeming Order made did not and could not have in the circumstance overreached any of the parties particularly Appellant. They are bound by the judgment entered in favour of Appellant. Against all the odds of the language barrier (they would later learn both Yoruba and the Yagba dialect) and West Africa being referred to as the "White man’s grave" (due to malaria caused by mosquito bites killing so many missionaries) they came into the community, becoming the pioneers of Christianity in the area; they preached the gospel of Christ to the people of Egbe and Yagba and were able to lay the foundation for a hospital which was started by newer missionaries in 1952. The lower Court held that the Appellant is entitled to that relief 26(b) as in the following terms on page 907 of the record viz:- That the documentary evidence are to be used to assess the oral evidence. It is obvious from Exhibit 12 that Exhibit D32 is no longer tenable or potent. 499) 251, 263. ALHAJI MOHAMMED ALFA IDRIS Respondent(s), PETER OLABISI IGE, J.C.A. 684) 298 AT 341. D38 to Deputy Governor. That the Panel did not hear from Appellant and did not write him to make representation before a decision was taken against him by three man panel which he described as quasi judicial body bound to observe rule of fair hearing. That it is not the duty of appellate Court to start re-evaluation of the evidence since that is the exclusive reserve of the trial Court. It is rather the credibility that gives probative value to witnesses. 1. The Court cannot grant in favour of a party reliefs not claimed by him or her. See the case of CHIEF JOSEPH ODETOYE OYEYEMI v. COMMISSIONER FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT KWARA STATE & ORS (1992) NWLR (Pt. Whether the judgment of the trial Court was reasonable warranted and can be supported by the evidence adduced before it, and can also place heavy reliance on Exhibit D32 which cannot be rendered invalid by Exhibit 12 which is the minutes of meeting of Kogi State Council of Chiefs and thereby find in favour of the Respondents and has not occasioned any miscarriage of justice (GROUNDS XII & XIII). 2.

Born on July 7, 1955 in Idofin-Isanlu, Kogi State, Bamidele Ogbe Solomon the current Director General of Nigeria’s National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA), Nigeria is … OIF is reputed for philanthropic services to the challenged and less-privileged in Yagba Federal Constituency of Kogi State. In Akpan v. The State (supra) @ 471 F-G, this Court held: 485) 75 AT 90. Seven against three, Ankpo Traditional Council thus resolved and supported the nomination of Muhammed Ogbe as been the popular candidate of Ojoku people, and for the peace and security of Ojoku to reign, Ankpa Traditional Council thus recommended the same Alhaji Muhammed Ogbe to Igala Area Traditional Council for onward processing. I am of the solemn view that it is a miscarriage of justice against the right of the Appellant to have a decision on the issue. No doubt, breach of either the rules of natural justice involving either of the twin pillars justice; of audi alteram partem or nemo judex in causasua – could be raised substantively and formally, particularly in circumstances in which such a breach impinges on the constitutional right to fair hearing enshrined in Section 33 of the Constitution of 1979 (now Section 35 of the, Constitution of 1989).
