Ihedioha v Uzodinma (2020) "Not Only Must Justice Be Done; It Must Also Be Seen To Be Done."

In Ihedioha v Uzodinma (2020) , the Supreme Court of Nigeria ruled that it cannot overturn its own decision. According to the Court, its decision is final whether there were errors. It is not because Ihedioha’s application has no merit, but that if they overturn their decision, it “would open the floodgate of similar applications”. This means that even if there’s new evidence that a man sentenced to death is now innocent, the Supreme Court of Nigeria will not overturn its decision.
