Counsel for Oba Akanbi had told the court that his client had several applications before the court and he told the court that the notice of preliminary
objection which bordered
on competence and jurisdiction of the court should be heard first before the substantive application.
The Appellant's Counsel, Dr. Alex A. Izinyon, SAN, filed a preliminary
objection on behalf of the Appellant challenging the jurisdiction of the High Court of the FCT to entertain the matter, the
competence of the charges, and the powers of the ICPC to prosecute the case.
