The court’s Deputy President, Justice Gberi-be Quatarra, represented by a member of the court, Justice Dupe Atoki, spoke with reporters in Ilorin, Kwara state capital at the end of the court’s one week sensitization mission. Justice Quatarra said that: “Obviously, there has been no complaint about supposed Sunday Igboho before the court and for all intents and purposes, the court has no idea of who Sunday Igboho is and what’s happening to him.
“Sunday Igboho, for us in this side of the divide here we don’t know what is that. We have no clue of who or what is happening to Sunday Igboho. Majority of leadership of the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice are not Nigeriens. I am like the only Nigerian and for judicial purpose, I have no knowledge of who Sunday Igboho is or what’s his challenge.
“The court is only concerned with matters that have been brought before it and if matters had not been brought before it we would just be a meddlesome interloper trying to fish out issues in public domain and we are not tele-guided by mere newspaper presentations. We don’t read newspaper for purpose of determining whether we should intervene or not.”
