The apex court judge said the judgment is final in the ‘real sense’ and no court on earth can review the judgment.

According to the judge:

“There must be an end to litigation even if we review this judgment, every disaffected litigant will bring similar applications and the finality of Supreme Court judgments will be lost.”

She added that the applications are frivolous and vexatious, and awarded the cost of ₦10 million against the applicants to be personally paid by their counsel.
