Most times, when you read judgments with deprecating expressions on counsel, resist the urge to immediately form a negative impression of the counsel. If possible, ask to see the brief. At times, there could be more to the attack than meets the eyes.

Counsel, please read section 256(1)(C) and (d) of the Evidence Act. You will see that the position of the Court was not weird after all.

I have had the privilege of attending meetings where a President of Nigeria is present & I know the band is often made up of soldiers (maybe Guards Brigade, I’m not sure). I doubt that Judges would have gone for a conference with a DJ. Besides, I didn’t see any of them singing.

Trust me, that was a solid team that he cheaply disengaged.

Counsel, when you read s. 267 (4), which expressly references s. 349(6), you will observe that no reasonable ground of appeal will flow from his choice not to be represented by a counsel. I’m sure the people who advised him on that course, also did not read it well.

Fair point by counsel Inibehe Effiong . However, the most recent position of the Supreme Court in OPDC v. People of Lagos (2025) 14 NWLR (Pt. 2005) 277 at 315-316 (a case I appeared for the appellant at the SC), is that Police investigation is not a sine qua non for prosecution.
