Stop proliferating issues, Supreme Court warns advocates

In Habibu [2024] 6 NWLR (Part 1935) 483 (SC), 534H–535A, Jauro JSC deprecated issue proliferation, saying:

“[T]he strategy of the appellant’s counsel … is to raise any issue possible, real or imagined, against the judgment of the lower court. From those issues that may appear to be genuine complaints against the judgment of the lower court, to those that appear flimsy down to the outright ridiculous, he raised them all. This is not a good strategy. Counsel should always endeavor to do away with any insubstantial arguments and keep appeals within the limits of genuine and reasonable complaints, if any, arising from the decision appealed against.”
