“(5) The writ of execution issued by the Community Court may be suspended only by a decision of the Community Court of Justice.” Article 22(3) of the Protocol (A/P.1/01/91) on the Community Court of Justice “(3) Member States and Institutions of the Community shall take immediately all necessary measures to ensure execution of the decision of the Court” It is a well-established principle in the law of interpretation of Deeds and Statutes that a document that is, prima facie, clear in meaning does not require interpretation by the court. If the provision of a statute is very clear and unambiguous courts do not import words into it under the guise of interpretation. To this extent, this Court has ruled in the case of MR. OLAJIDE AFOLABI v. FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA (2004 – 2009) CCJELR 1 pg. 14 that “when the meaning of the Treaty is clear, it is applied not interpreted” SEE also Elmer Driedger, Construction of Statutes, Toronto Butterworths, 1983 pg.1 .It is the conviction of this Court, and the Court holds that the provisions of the texts reproduced verbatim above, are bereft of any ambiguity, and therefore do not call for any interpretation. The only irresistible import of the reliefs being claimed by the Plaintiff; whatever spectacle from which one looks at them, is the enforcement of the judgment of this Honourable Court dated 6/11/13, given in favour of the Plaintiff herein. Having found that the combined effect of the reliefs being claimed by the Plaintiff, is for the enforcement of the judgement of this Court 12
