Looking at the facts surrounding it, the issue of admissibility of fresh evidence by the appellate court is very rare, especially if that evidence was available to you while you were initiating the process.

“The Supreme Court will never, even the Court of Appeal will not, admit fresh evidence because their job is to review the decision of the court below and not to now evaluate any evidence. They don’t take any evidence but there are special circumstances under which fresh evidence can be admitted by the appellate court and that ground is maybe by the time you file the case that evidence was not available.

Westberg also admitted that the admission letter issued to the Nigerian President evidently proved he was a male and attended the school between 1977 and 1979. He, however, said that the Supreme Court may use a ‘discretionary power’ to either admit the fresh evidence or not.
