Supreme Court ends Kudirat Abiola m3rder case

[Augusta]

The Supreme Court on Thursday brought a definitive close to the protracted m3rder case of Alhaja Kudirat Abiola, rejecting efforts by the Lagos State Government to reopen the prosecution of retired Major Hamza Al-Mustapha
In a unanimous verdict, a five-member panel of the apex court ruled that Lagos State had effectively abandoned its appeal against Al-Mustapha’s acquittal, having taken no legal steps for nine years.

That's one thing i hate so much about the Nigerian judiciary system, cases can drag ground like this for years.

The lagos state government have wasted enough time before reopening the case. The supreme court decision is okay. The case have been closed for nine years and sentence passed! Why should Lagos state reopen the case after keeping quiet for such a long time.

Why did they keep the case for so long, this is what I hate about Nigeria court, why were they dragging it?
