The plaintiff states further that upon enquiry, it was discovered that the trial Judge
in his case, Justice Emmanuel Nkea did not attend the Sierra-Leone law school as
he claimed, neither did he attend any other law school.
The Plaintiff further asserts that he was granted a presidential pardon in August,
2015 as a result of pressure from the governments of Nigeria and United States of
America.
The Plaintiff maintains that his fundamental human rights were violated by the
Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court where in the latter Court, the prosecution
clearly stated that there was no case against the Plaintiff and therefore they were
not filing any brief. To this end, and without relying on any law, the Court dismissed
the case against the Plaintiff.
In Conclusion, the Plaintiff restates that he has been seriously injured by the
conduct of the Defendant by denying him the benefits of a fair, independent and
impartial trial, and therefore urged the Court to restore his rights.
On the 20th of March 2018, the Plaintiff applied for a judgment to be entered in
default in view of the Defendant’s failure to lodge a defence within time. Before
the Court could pronounce on the Plaintiff's application for default judgment, the
Defendant on the 24th of May 2018, filed an application for extension of time within
which to file its defence, stating reasons why it was unable to file the defence within
the prescribed time. The Defendant filed its defence to the Plaintiffs application
together with its own application for extension of time.
The originating Application of the Plaintiff was initially endorsed with three reliefs
which said reliefs were amended upon application to the Court dated 14th June,
2018. The Plaintiff added an additional relief upon the grant of the amendment.
