THE Court of Appeal, Lagos Division, yesterday , declined to hear a motion filed by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) seeking to stay execution of the judgment of Justice Yetunde Idowu of a Lagos High Court, which ordered the agency to pay N25 million to a popular comedian, Babatunde Omidina, also known as Baba Suwe, as compensation for detaining him for several days over allegation of drug trafficking.

 

The court presided over by Justice Helen Ogunwumiju, however, decided to hear the main appeal against the judgement of the lower court expeditiously.

 

Justice Ogunwumiju, in her submissions, disclosed that rather than hearing the application for stay of execution filed by the agency, the court was more disposed to granting accelerated hearing of the appeal.

 

However, the court granted the application filed by Baba Suwe's counsel, Chukwuyem Atewe, for an extension of time within which he could file his respondent brief.

 

After granting the application, the court ordered the NDLEA to file its reply brief within 14 days , if it had any reply to file on points of law.
