11:57Now PlayingA Nigerian lawyer has said that the stay of execution claimed to have been filed by the lawyer of the former acting governor of Adamawa State, Mr Umaru Fintiri, may not have been filed at all or was not filed at the right time.
Mr Liborous Oshomah told Channels Television on Friday that the stay of execution would have been adhered to if the counsel to Mr Fintiri had filed the request for stay in the court immediately the judgement was delivered.
After the judgement was delivered, Mr Fintiri said he had directed his lawyer, Mr Bayo Ojo, to file an appeal, a statement Mr Oshomah said showed that the appeal and stay was not submitted in court.
"The counsel to the former acting governor should have prepared his appeal and a request for a stay of execution in the court and served relevant persons before leaving the court. That would have made the swearing-in of Mr Bala Ngilari impossible.
"What some lawyers do is that they take their laptop to the court, draft an appeal and a stay of execution right there in the court. And then before the appeal, the election would have been held and the rest would completely be destroyed.
