The planned hearing by the Court of Appeal, Abuja of the appeals filed the Incorporated Trustees of the Socio-economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) and its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare was stalled on Friday owing to the appellants’ late filing of their briefs.
The two appeals, filed by SERAP and Oluwadare, are against the May 5 judgment of a High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), in which it was held that the group and its Deputy Director defamed two officials of the Department of State Services (DSS) through a false publication they made on September 10, 2024.
At Friday’s proceedings, the first appeal, marked: CA/ABJ/CV/1114/2026 filed by SERAP, was heard by a three-member panel of the appellate court, presided over by Justice Danlami Senchi.
