1.0 INTRODUCTION:
1.1 The …

1.3 Consequent on the above, the Plaintiff has filed this suit by an Originating Summons
seeking the following reliefs:
1. A DECLARATION that the Defendant having been...
2. A DECLARATION that…
3. AN ORDER restraining the Defendant…
1.4 The Originating Summons is supported by an affidavit and this Written Address in
urging this Honourable Court to grant the reliefs sought in the interest of justice.
2.0 ISSUE FOR DETERMINATION:
2.1 The Plaintiff most respectfully adopts the question for determination in this suit as its
sole issue for determination as follows:
“Whether…?”
3.0 LEGAL ARGUMENT:
“Whether…?”
3.1 On the sole issue for determination, we submit that the Defendant was …
3.2 The above provision is clear and unambiguous… and is such as should be given a literal
interpretation by this Honourable Court as the Courts are enjoined to do by a plethora of
authorities including the authority of TABIK INVESTMENT LTD & ANOR v. GTB
(2011) LPELR-3131(SC) Pp. 12-13, paras. C-B where it was held as follows:
"It is settled law that a legislation is to be given its ordinary interpretation
and effect, most especially where the words used are straight forward and
unambiguous. See Toriola v. Williams 1982 7 SC. 27, Sunmonu v. Oladokun
1996 8 NWLR part 467 page 387, and Lawal v. G. B. Ollivant 1972 3 SC.
124. In this vein, I subscribe to the holding of the lower Court which is
encapsulated thus:- "I think from whichever angle one looks at the
provision of this section, one can hardly escape arriving at the only rule of
Interpretation of statutes which are clear and unambiguous that is golden
rule of interpretation. This section to my mind is so clear and unambiguous
that is golden rule of interpretation. This section to my mind is so clear and
direct. The repeated use of the word 'shall' in the section in my view
indicates mandatoriness." (Underlined for emphasis)
See also ADESANOYE & ORS v. ADEWOLE & ANOR (2000) LPELR-142(SC)
and NPA PLC v. LOTUS PLASTICS LTD & ANOR (2005) LPELR-2028(SC).
3.3 In the light of this provision…

3.4 In this case…
3.5 We submit that … This position was affirmed in the very recent case of GANA v. SDP
& ORS (2019) LPELR-47153(SC) Pp. 15-16, paras. B-C where the Supreme Court
held as follows:
"….. a political party, like any other organisation, is bound by its Constitution.
In all the foregoing cases, this Court took a firm position that a political party
is bound by its own Constitution. All members of the political party are also
bound by the provisions of the Constitution of the political party they belong.
Obaseki, JSC in ONUOHA v. OKAFOR (supra) had put it forcefully thus -
The party like any other corporation, operates within the guidelines, the
powers and duties set out in its Constitution. All its members are bound by its
provisions and their rights and obligations created by their Constitution can be
remedied as provided by the Constitution if breached by any of its members -
Accordingly, the rights and obligations of the members of the SDP (1st
Respondent), including the Appellant and the 5th Respondent, are defined by
their party Constitution. They, both the party and its members, "are bound by
its provisions and their rights and obligations created by their Constitution can
be remedied as provided by the Constitution, if breached" either by the party or
any of the members of the party." (Underlined for emphasis)
3.6 We also commend to my Lord the decision in LAU v. PDP & OR (2017) LPELR-
42800(SC).
3.7 In the light of the above firm and settled position of the law, we submit that …
3.8 It is in the light of the above that we urge this honorable Court to give effect to the
provision of the Plaintiff’s Constitution and to...
3.9 On the whole, we urge this honorable Court to resolve this issue in favor of the Plaintiff
and against the Defendant.
4.0 CONCLUSION:
4.1 In conclusion, we urge this honorable Court to find in favor of the Plaintiff and grant the
reliefs sought in this Originating Summons in the overriding interest of justice.

WRITTEN ADDRESS IN SUPPORT OF MOTION EXPARTE
1.0 INRODUCTION
1.1 This is motion exparte brought pursuant to order 4 Rule 4 (D) of the District court
rules of Northern Nigeria and under the inherent jurisdiction of this honorable court.
The prayers and the grounds for the application is supported with 12 paragraphs
affidavit deposed to by one A. M the litigation secretary in the applicant counsel law
firm.
2.0 ISSUE FOR DETERMINATION
We submit with due respect that the sole issue that arose for your Lordship’s
determination is:
“Whether a substituted service can be affected on the parties in the event of
non-personal service on the defendant”
3.0 ARGUMENT OF THE SOLE ISSUE

3.1 personal service of process is germane to the institution of the suit in order to abreast
the defendant of being aware of the pending suit against him and to give him ample of
being heard. However, if personal service cannot be effected on the defendant, it is
therefore our humble submission that substituted service can be effected by order of the
court in the event of non-personal service on the respondent. We rely on the authority of
JASIAH K. OWODUNNI & ORS VS. THE REGISTERED TRUSTEES OF
CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST (2007) WRN 111 at 120 where Per
Muhammed, JCA observes thus:
“Service by substituted means would only be ordered where it appears to the court
(either after or without an attempt to personal service) that for any reason personal
service cannot conveniently effected”.
We submit that having attempted to serve the respondent personally, which was in futile,
the only legally available option is to serve the respondent via a substituted means i.e.
pasting the court processes on the last known address of the respondent.
We further submit that the essence of service is to ensure that the other party is properly
put on notice and given an opportunity to be heard based on the principle of natural
justice, equity and good conscience. See GUY & CO PROPERTIES LTD & 1ORS

AND
E. L ………………………….…..DEFENDANT
WRITTEN ADDRESS IN SUPPORT OF THE MOTION FOR BAIL

1.0. INTRODUCTION
1.01. This is a motion on notice praying that the Defendant/Applicant be admitted to
bail pending the hearing and determination of the charge against him.
1.02. The Application is supported by 11 paragraph affidavit deposed to by E. K the
Defendant/Applicant elder brother.
1.03. We shall most humbly be relying on all the paragraphs of the affidavit in support
of the application.
1.04. The Application is brought pursuant to section 19 of the Advance Fee Fraud and
Other Fraud Related Offences Act, section 32(3) of the Administration of
Criminal Justice Act 2015, section 35(1) and 36(5) of the constitution of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 and Under the Inherent Jurisdiction of the
court.
2.0. ISSUES FOR DETERMINATION

My lord, we have formulated one (1) issue arising from the facts of this case for
determination as thus:
“WHETHER THE DEFENDANT/APPLICANT OUGHT TO BE
GRANTED BAIL BY THIS HONOURABLE COURT PENDING
THE DETERMINATION OF THE CHARGE AGAINST HIM?”
3.0. LEGAL ARGUMENTS

3.1. My lord, we shall now consider the sole issue formulated above in the light of
relevant statutory provisions, judicial authorities and evidence adduced one after
the other.
3.2. My lord, by virtue of Section 19 of the Advance fee Fraud and other related
offence Act, this court has power to grant bail to an accused person charged with
an offence under the Act or any other law triable by this court.
3.3. May I most humbly refer my lord to the case of ONYIRIOHA VS. I.G.P (2009)
3 NWLR (PV 1128) 342 at page 364.
3.4. The provision of the advance fee fraud and other related offences act as regard
bail, the court is expected to exercise its discretion judicially and judiciously
taking into consideration the interest of the accused, who is presumed innocent,
the complaint and above all the overall interest of the public.
3.5. In the case of DOKUBO-ASARI V. F.R.N (2007) LPELR-958 (SC) PP. 9-11,
PARA B-E.
PER MUHAMMAD J.S.C held as thus:
“when it comes to the issue of whether to grant bail or refuse bail pending
trial of an accused by the court, the law has set some criteria which the trial
court shall consider in the exercise of its judicial discretion to arrive at a
decision”
These criteria have been well articulated in several decisions of this court, such criteria
include among others the following:
I. The nature of the charge.
II. The strength of the evidence which support the charge.
III. The gravity of the punishment in event of conviction.
IV. The previous criminal record of the accused if any.
V. The probability that the accused may not surrender himself for trial. The
likelihood of the accused interfering with witnesses or may suppress any evidence
that may incriminate him.
VI. The likelihood of further charge being brought against the accused.
VII. The probability of guilt.
VIII. Detention for the protection of the accused.
IX. The necessity to procure medical or social report pending final determination of
the case, see also BAMAIYI VS. STATE (2001) 8 NWLR (PV 715) 270.
3.6. It is clear from the evidence before the court against the accused person that there
is nothing so incrimination to warrant the further detention of the accused who
has spent more than 17 days in the complainant cell against the fundamental right
of the defendant, who ought to have been arraigned before the court ever before
now.
3.7. I further submit that the weight of the proof of evidence before the court is not
sufficient enough to warrant continuous detention of the accused person.
3.8. I further submit that granting or refusal of bail is the total and unfettered
discretion of the court, see CHUKWU V. F.R.N & ANOR (2018) LPELR-
44519 (CA) PP 6-18 PARA E. PER OBASEKI ADEJUMO J.C.A held as
thus:
“Without doubt, the authorities are replete on the position that bail is the
setting at liberty of an accused person subject to certain conditions but
mainly of which will ensure that the person been set free from custody will
appear at certain place on prescribed day as he will be required to”
3.9. It is also trite that a person charged with a felony other than one punishable with
death may be granted bail if the court deems it fit.
3.10. The decision whether or not to grant bail in such case is a matter within the
judicial discretion of this court.
3.11. The exercise of judicial discretion must be devoid of consideration of extraneous
facts.
3.12. The most important consideration in the bail decision is the determination of what
criteria the court should use or invoke in granting or refusing bail.
3.13. The bail ability of the accused depend largely on the weight the court attaches to
one or several of the criteria open to it in any given case.
3.14. The court is equally enjoined not to exercise its whims indiscriminately.
3.15. Finally, I submit that granting of bail by a court is discretionary and I most
humbly urge the court to exercise the discretion in favor of the accused person
who is ready to stand for his trial and will be ready to meet the most liberal
conditions if the discretion of court is exercised in his favor, as the refusal of bail
at this stage will amount to pretrial conference.
3.16. In conclusion, we pray the court to grant the accused bail in a liberal term.
Dated this……. Day of …… …………., 20……

WRITTEN ADDRESS IN SUPPORT OF MOTION ON NOTICE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Claimant filed this Motion on Notice praying this honorable Court for the
several reliefs. The Motion is accompanied by a …….paragraphs affidavit duly
deposed to by one ………….
1.2 This Written Address is filed in support of the said application. The Claimant
relies on the affidavit filed in support of the application as well as this Written
Address in urging the grant of the application.
2.0 ISSUE FOR DETERMINATION
2.1 The Claimant humbly submits a single issue for determination as follows:
“Whether having regards to the circumstances of this case, this honorable

Court ought not to grant the Claimant’s application as prayed?”
3.0 ARGUMENTS
3.1 Order 18 of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (Civil
Procedure) Rules, 2018 provides that:
“Where the Claimant desires to make a reply, he shall file within 7 days
from the service of the defence”
3.2 Order 34 rule 1 of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (Civil
Procedure) Rules, 2018 provides that:
“Subject to these rules and to any enactment relating to evidence any

fact required to be proved at the trial of any action shall be proved by
written deposition and oral examination of witnesses in open court.”
3.3 In the instant case, the Claimant was served with the 4 th and 5th Defendants’
Statement of Defence on the …… th ….…, 20……., after the Claimant had closed
his case on ……th ……….., 20…….. We submit that by the above provisions of
the Rules of this honorable Court and the order of this honorable Court made on
….th ………., 20……, for the Claimant to establish his case, it is incumbent on
the Claimant to file his Reply and to lead evidence thereto.
3.4 As the Claimant is desirous of leading evidence to rebut the issues of fact raised
in the Statement of Defence which he did not anticipate as at the time of closing
his case before the defence was filed, it has become imperative for the Claimant
to seek leave of this honorable Court to reopen his case and to lead such evidence.
The power of the Court to reopen a case of a party before judgment is unfettered.
In UTIH & ORS. V. ONOYIVWE & ORS. (1991) LPELR-3436(SC) Pp.91-
92, Paras.G-A, the Supreme Court, Per KARIBI WHYTE, J.S.C., held that:
"This court has held in several cases before it that a Judge has an
unfettered discretion in appropriate cases to reopen for further argument
within the period of 3 months prescribed by the Constitution..."
3.5 This application is predicated on the fact that the Claimant’s fundamental right to
fair hearing would be protected if he is allowed to reopen his case and call
evidence in support of his Reply to the Statement of defence. The law has long
been settled beyond peradventure that the purpose of granting the right to any
person to approach a court of law where his/her fundamental right has been, is
being or is in danger of being breached is to enhance and ensure justice. The
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria provides that in such a
circumstance, the person complaining is entitled to be heard within a reasonable
time.
3.6 Section 36 (1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (As
amended) provides that:
“In the determination of his civil rights and obligations, including any
question or determination by or against any government or authority, a
person shall be entitled to a fair hearing within a reasonable time by a
court or other tribunal established by law and constituted in such
manner as to secure its independence and impartiality.”
3.7 The Supreme Court has described what the fundamental nature of fair hearing is.
In ATANO v. A.G.BENDEL STATE (1988) 2 NWLR (Pt. 75) at 132, it was
held that:
“The principle of fair hearing is fundamental to all court procedure and

proceedings, and like jurisdiction, the absence of it vitiates the
proceedings no matter how well conducted.”
3.8 In view of the Statement of Defence filed by the 4 th and 5th Defendants on …….nd
…………, 20…….. it is imperative that the Claimant be given another chance to
be heard by leading evidence.
3.9 We humbly urge Your Lordship to resolve this sole issue in favour of the
Claimant and grant this application in the interest of justice.
3.10 CONCLUSION
3.11 In the light of the above authorities and arguments, we humbly urge this
Honourable Court to grant the Claimant’s application in the interest of justice.

20….. in appeal No. CA………...
1.2 In its determination of the appeal, the Court of Appeal (“lower Court”) in
resolving the issues for determination, resolved issue 1 in favor of the 1 st
Respondent who was the Appellant before it, issues 2 and 3 in favor of the
Appellant who was the 1st Respondent before it and issue 4 suo motu raised by the
lower Court in favor of the 1 st Respondent. The lower Court allowed the appeal
and set aside the decision of the trial Court.
1.3 Dissatisfied by the decision of the lower Court, the Appellant has appealed to this
honorable Court by a ……. grounds Notice of Appeal filed on ….. th ……., 20….
contained in pages ……. to …… of the Records of Appeal.
2.0 STATEMENT OF RELEVANT FACTS

2.1 The Appellant at the trial Court instituted a criminal action before the Federal
High Court, sitting in Abuja in a 9-Counts Charge contained in Charge No……
2.2 …
2.3 …
2.4 The lower Court found that…
2.5 This appeal is against the Judgment of the lower Court which sets aside the
Ruling of the trial Court.
3.0 ISSUES FOR DETERMINATION

3.1 The 2nd Respondent raises the following issues for determination by this
honorable Court:
1. Whether… (Distilled from Grounds 2 and 6)
2. Whether…(Distilled from Grounds 3, 4 and 5)
4.0 ARGUMENT ON ISSUE ONE

“Whether …?”
4.1 The issue of recusal and transfer of cases under the Administration of Criminal
Justice Act 2015 is regulated by statutory procedures. For a matter which has
begun to be transferred or reassigned to another judge, the law has provided
parameters for consideration in section 22 of the Federal High Court Act and
section 98 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015.
4.2 Section 22(1) of the Federal High Court Act Cap. F12 Vol. 6 LFN 2004
provides:
“A Judge of the court may at any time or at any stage of the proceedings
before final judgment, either with or without application from any of the
parties thereto, transfer such cause or matter before him to any other
judge of the Court.”
4.3 Section 98(1) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 provides
precisely:
“The Chief Judge of a High Court may, where it appears to him that the
transfer of a case will promote the ends of justice or will be in the
interests of the public peace, transfer any case from one court to
another”
4.4 In narrowing down the powers of the Chief Judge, section 98(2) of the
Administration of Criminal Justice Acts 2015 provides:
“The power of the Chief Judge referred to in subsection (1) of this
section shall not be exercised where the prosecution has called
witnesses.”
4.5 The Court of Appeal in LAWAN v. FRN (2018) LPELR-43973 (Pp. 18-19,
paras E-F) CA captured aptly, the rationale of the section 98 of the
Administration of Criminal Justice Act, thus…
4.6 …
4.7 …
4.8 It is our humble submission that there is no substantial difference between the
prayers of the Respondents and the order of the lower Court and therefore we urge
this Court to disregard the Appellant’s arguments on this issue.
5.0 ARGUMENT ON ISSUE TWO

Whether…?
5.1 The principle of Fair Hearing is a fundamental guiding principle in every justice
administration process. The absence of fair hearing in any proceeding, be it
administrative or judicial, could render the entire proceeding a nullity. Section
36(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as
amended) provides:
“In the determination of his civil rights and obligations, including any
question or determination by or against any government or authority, a
person shall be entitled to a fair hearing within a reasonable time by a
court or other tribunal established by law and constituted in such
manner as to secure its independence and impartiality.”
5.2 The question of what will be considered ‘reasonable time’ is one of fact. Can it be
said that there is fair hearing within a reasonable time when Judges are given
unrestricted judicial powers to toss proceedings from Court to Court on the
slightest provocation? As it is said, Justice delayed is justice denied. Where
parties have shown willingness to proceed in a matter, judicial clogs should not be
resulted to, to delay the attainment of justice.
5.3 In AJILEYE v. FAKAYODE (1990) 5 NWLR (148)(Pp.92 at 100, paras

G)CA, the Court held:
“Any person bringing an action shall not be deprived of his right to do
so once it is ascertained that the court has jurisdiction in the subject
matter of the suit unless the trial judge is legally disqualified from taking
up the matter.”
5.4 The facts in this appeal clearly shows that …
5.5 …
5.6 …
5.7 We humbly urge this Court to affirm the decision of the lower Court and hold that
the recusal of Hon. ……………. to recuse from the case without properly
notifying parties is a denial of fair hearing.
6.0 CONCLUSION
6.1 In conclusion, we urge this honorable Court to find in disallowing this appeal,
that:
1. The lower Court was right when…
2. The recusal of …
3. The lower Court was right when it …
6.2 We urge this Honorable Court to dismiss this appeal for lacking in merit and to
affirm the decision of the lower Court which set aside the decision of the trial
Court.

3.1 The Claimant respectively submits a lone issue for the just determination of this case:
“Whether from the pleadings and evidence before the Court, the
Plaintiff has proved his case to entitle him to the reliefs sought in this
suit?”
4.0 ARGUMENT:
“Whether from the pleadings and evidence before the Court, the Plaintiff has
proved his case to entitle him to the reliefs sought in this suit?”
4.1 The Claimant is by this suit is claiming title over Plot…

4.2 The law is settled that in an action for declaration of title to land, the burden of proof
is on the Claimant to prove his entitlement to the declaratory relief by adducing
credible evidence in this regard. This burden remains on the Claimant even in the
absence of a defence by the Defendants. This was the position of the Supreme
Court in Nruamah & Ors v. Ebuzoeme & Ors (2013) LPELR-19771(SC) Pp.
17-18, paras. F-E as follows:
"Generally, in a claim for declaration of title to land, it is trite that the
onus is on the plaintiff to establish his title upon a preponderance of
evidence or on the balance of probability. He must therefore succeed on
the strength of his own case not upon the weakness of the case of the
defendant, except only where the defendant's case supports his case. See;
Kodilinye vs. Odu 1 LLAC 254, Onwugbufor vs. Okoye (1996) 1 NWLR (pt
424) 252; Shittu vs. Fashawe (2005) 14 NWLR (pt 946) 671; Eze vs. Atasie

Aderonmu (2000) 13 WRN 104 at 115 (2000) 9 NWLR (pt. 672) 370."
(underlined for emphasis)
4.3 Also, in Mohammed v. Wammako & Ors (2017) LPELR-42667(SC) P. 24, paras.
A-B it was held as follows:
"Declaratory judgments are not granted on admission in default of

defence. See: Okoya v. Santalli (1990) 2 NWLR (Pt. 131) 172; Ntuks v.
Nigerian Ports Authority (2007) 13 NWLR (pt. 1050) 392; Addah v.
Ubandawaki (2015) 7 NWLR (Pt. 1458) 325."

4.5 The Supreme Court in Ajiboye v. Ishola (2006) LPELR-301(SC) P. 27, paras. A-

AND
DEF - DEFENDANT
WRITTEN ADDRESS IN SUPPORT OF MOTION ON NOTICE
2.1 INTRODUCTION
2.2 The Claimant commenced this action by a Writ of Summons dated … seeking
declarative and injunctive reliefs as contained in the Writ of Summons. With
leave of this Honourable Court obtained and granted, the Claimant via a Motion
on Notice filed on …amended his Writ of Summons and other accompanying
processes. The Defendant filed their Statement of Defence on ...
2.3 This application seeks an order of Court to strike out paragraphs of this honorable
Court striking out paragraphs …….., and …….. of the Statement of Defence of
the Defendants filed on … for offending the rules of pleadings. The Applicant
shall rely on all the paragraphs in the affidavit and submissions in this Written
Address in urging this honorable Court to grant this application.
1.1 The Claimant submits a sole issue for determination by this honorable Court viz:
“Whether it is in the interest of justice to grant this application?”
1.2. ARGUMENT ON SOLE ISSUE FOR DETERMINATION
1.3. On the sole issue for determination, we submit that the paragraphs …….., and ….
of the Statement of Defence of the Defendant offend the rules of pleadings. The
Supreme Court in C. N OKPALA & SONS LTD v. NB PLC (2017) LPELR-
43826 (Pp. 9-10, paras C-A) defined pleadings as follows:
"In Black's Law Dictionary, 8th Edition, pleading is defined as a
formal document in which a party to a legal proceeding (especially in a
civil lawsuit), sets forth or responds to allegations, claims, denials or
defence. In summary, it consists of the plaintiff's complaint and the
defendant's answer. The essence of pleadings is to compel the parties
to define accurately and precisely the issues upon which the case is to
be contested to avoid element of surprise by either party. It is also
essential that parties are not allowed to adduce evidence which goes
outside the facts pleaded. See Onwuka & Anor V. Omogui (1992)
LPELR - 2719 (SC), (1992) 3 NWLR (pt. 230) 393, Adenuga V.
Odumeru (2001) LPELR - 130 (SC), (2001) 2 NWLR (pt 696) 184. One
other essence of pleading is that it must be precise and accurate on the
issues to be decided by the Court such that no party or Court is left in
doubt as to what each party requests from the Court. In the
circumstance, parties are usually confined to their pleadings.”
1.4. Also the Court in OSUJI v. EKEOCHE (2009) 16 NWLR (Pt. 1166) (Pp. 81 @
126, paras D-E) in explaining how pleadings should drafted, held thus:
“Facts in pleadings must be concisely, precisely and accurately

pleaded. Pleadings should not give room for speculation as to its real
content”
1.5. It is trite that pleadings should drafted in a manner that is concise, precise,
accurate, comprehensible and meaningful. Pleadings should contain facts and not
arguments, speculations, conclusions or vexatious and scandalous averments.
1.6. Order 15 Rule 2(1) of the High Court of the Federal Capital (Civil
Procedure) Rules 2018 provides thus:
“Every pleading shall contain, a statement in a summary form of the

material facts on which the party pleading relies for his claim or
defence, as the case may be, but not the evidence by which they are to
be proved and shall, be divided into paragraphs numbered
consecutively.”
1.7. Order 15 Rule 18(1) of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory
(Civil Procedure) Rules 2018 further provides for grounds of striking out
pleadings:
(1) The court may at any stage of the proceedings order to be struck
out or amended any pleading or the endorsement of any writ in the
action or anything in any pleading or in the endorsement, on the
ground that:
(a) It discloses no reasonable cause of action or defence as the case
may be; or
(b) It is scandalous, frivolous, or vexatious; or
(c) It may prejudice, embarrass or delay the fair trial of the action; or
(d) It is an abuse of the process of court;
(e) The court may order the action to be stayed or dismissed or
judgement to be entered accordingly as the case may be.
1.8. From the totality of judicial statutory authorities above, a consideration of the
paragraphs of the Statement of Defence reveal paragraphs that the ….
1.9. Paragraph …. of the Joint Statement of Defence responds to no specific paragraph
of the Claimant’s Amended Statement of Claim…
1.10. Paragraph….. of the Joint Statement of Defence, apart from not referring to any
specific paragraph of the Claimant’s Amended Statement of Defence, is
argumentative and not a statement of fact. Arguments are not facts but an
expression of a position already taken by the Defendants as regards the facts in
questions…
1.11. Further, we draw the Court’s attention to paragraph ……
1.12. Paragraph …… of the Statement of Defence aver to speculations, assuming
actions of the…Reiterating the essence of pleadings, the Court of Appeal in H. K.
S. F v. AJIBAWO (2008) 7 NWLR (Pt. 1087) (Pp. 511 @ 530, paras F-G)
held:
“The essence of pleadings is to give one’s adversary the clean and true

1.13. Paragraphs …….. of the Joint Statement of Defence Defendants are richly
contained with grammatical errors, imprecise, unclear and incomprehensible
sentences and paragraphs unconnected to specific paragraphs from the Claimant’s
amended Statement of Claim. This makes it impossible for the Claimant get a
