However, Sheriff in the application, asked the apex court to not to hear Makarfi’s appeal, because he could not initiate legal proceedings in the name of party, having being sacked by the appeal court.
Litigating at the court on Monday, Akin Olujinmi, Counsel to Sheriff, said Wole Olanipekun, Counsel to Markafi, was abusing the court, by using two processes to sustain his appeal.
He further asked the court not to allow the appeal, stating that Olanipekun did not apply for leave, on some 20 out 24 grounds of arguments.
