“Later, the Supreme Court, the highest judicial body in the land, gave favourable judgement to Erin-Ile on the same matter in 1973. ”
“Nobody, no matter how highly placed, can review what the Supreme Court had said. That can’t happen.
“I am personally interested in this case because I handled the case ab initio and by practice and convention, I am part and parcel of Erin-Ile community.”
