Okputu said the Supreme Court would determine whether the lower court was right to have ruled that appeal was filed out of time. “In the preliminary submission given, the Appeal Court judges had granted all relief sought that they were sought under the law. And now to do the needful, they claimed because the matter is statue barred, they cannot grant the last sought and that the case has merit.

“At the lower court, they confirm that there was error in the filing by officials of the court. The receipts and every documents showed that the case was filed on the 17th and not 18th.
