ALFA SAKA SALAMI v. ALHAJI MOHAMMED JODI MAGAJI MUSE FAMILY (2019-LCER-36836-SC)
Facts
At the High Court of Kwara State, Ilorin Judicial Division, [the trial Court, for short], the respondent in this appeal, [as Claimant], sought declaratory and injunctive reliefs against the appellants herein [as defendants]. In particular, they claimed ownership of the parcel of land at Lao Gbagba village, off Ilorin Airport, Ilorin, Kwara State.
Having lost the case at the trial Court, the respondent approached the Court of Appeal, Ilorin Division, [the lower Court, for short], which said Court allowed his appeal and set aside the trial Court’s judgement. The lower Court equally granted the respondent’s principal and ancillary claims. This appeal is, therefore, the appellant’s expression of his dissatisfaction with the lower Court’s judgement.
