Delivering the majority judgment of the Apex Court, Justice Centus Chima Nweze held that Machina ought to have commenced his case at the Federal High Court with a writ of summons given the grievous allegations in his suit against the defendants. The apex Court set aside the decisions of the earlier courts.
The case was presided over by Justices Chima Centus Nweze, Mohammed Lawal Garba, Helen Moronkeji Ogunwumiju, Adamu Jauro, and Emmanuel Akomaye Agim.
