In his legal argument, the Defendant submitted as follows; i. That by virtue of the Constitution of the Defendant (S.1 (1) the constitution is supreme and thus outside the jurisdiction of the Court. He cited a plethora of local Nigerian decisions to buttress her point, and it will be unnecessary to recite them here as they have no direct bearing on the jurisdiction of this as stated by the International instruments establishing it. ii.
