An APC lawyer was scolded by the judges for telling an LP lawyer to sit down when he was objecting to his submission. The head judge said he won’t allow that in his courtroom. The lawyer shamefully sat down because he couldn’t continue his submission.

4th respondents (APC), has said the authority cited by JS Okutepa is not related to the issue at hand
Ruling is RESERVED till judgement day which is in sometime in August

JS Okutepa SAN, Is on fire with the arguments
While citing preceding cases relating to this matter, he also mentioned that the subpoenaed witnesses are contained in pages 42 of LP’s petition
He just rounded up with Oni v. Fayemi to buttress the fact that the rules of court cannot override the rule of fair hearing!

LP is citing cases upon cases
One other very important case mentioned to justify why the subpoena was filed today and the witness competent to testify is Tajudeen Bello v. Odofin 2021 LPELR 55941 (CA)!

Litigation lawyers will argue and dispute anything disputable or indisputable, within or outside the extent of the law to avoid going into the substance of a matter.
Litigation is only for the strong hearted.

The respondents and Petitioners are still arguing over whether the witness should testify or not. It’s going to be a long day today.

The respondents are arguing that the witness is incompetent and not a vital witness, because he is not an advisory and yet was subpoenaed.
The petitioners are arguing that the witness should be allowed to testify, because It is not the law that the witness must be an advisory. “A witness that can testify does not necessarily mean an advisory. Some witnesses are vital to the case. The witness is competent to testify. If I summon a police officer, does that make him an advisory? Does it mean they don’t have useful information for the case?”

The judge jokingly said he wants to watch ‘feem,’ so they (respondents) should hurry up.

The respondents are arguing against video presentation saying they weren’t made aware of it.

Just before interrogation, Tinubu & Shettima’s lawyer argued that the witness is not in the petition (p41-42), therefore, “he is not a competent witness.” He claimed that the witness statement was just filed in court today. The judge is still deliberating. The Resp lawyer is still arguing.

@MissPearls
There was an ensuing argument relying on 4.5.1 of the schedule to the Electoral Act
The Respondents say the subpoena was just filed today and the witness wasn’t even listed at all, hence he’s incompetent!
LP then replied, citing cases like Ararume v. INEC and PDP v. Okogbuo LPELR (2019) 489989.
