Like many other cases similarly decided by the Supreme Court, the incumbent Governor of Osun State has won his election petition at the Supreme Court on technical ground.

I do strongly believe that technical justice is a legal way by which injustice is still allowed to thrive in our justice system.

If beneficiaries of technical justice were to be guided by Islamic justice tenets, they would realize that, if by technical justice, they are judicially given what does not belong to them, it is hell fire that is being handed over to them.

This is how Prophet Muhammad used to admonish the litigants that came to him.

The same also goes to lawyers who employ technicalities to defeat the course of justice which they themselves glaringly know. Like Professor ALARO said, such technical justice lawyers who are Muslims should warn themselves lest their legal practice become the price they pay for their divine salvation in the hereafter.

For judges, Islamic law has made it clear that there are three types of judges and only one of them will earn the divine pleasure of their Creator.

For any litigant that is denied his entitlement on technical ground, let him be comforted that his prayer as an oppressed person has direct entrance to his Creator.

The above is not however in particular reference to the recently delivered judgment of the Supreme Court, but on the need for our justice system to do away with technical justice practice. Many tears are out there which have refused to dry up because they were denied what belongs to them by technical justice.
