After listening to the arguments of the parties involved, the Supreme Court proceeded on a short recess after which it would deliver a ruling on the appeals.The ruling would be on the preliminary objection raised by the counsel to APC, Mr Lateef Fagbemi, urging the court not to hear the appeal filed by Mr Ibrahim Umah challenging the stay of execution of the judgment by Justice Nwogu.
