Mr Keyamo had vowed to go on appeal after the Federal High Court in Abuja dismissed his suit against Atiku for being frivolous.
The document showed he filed the appeal at the Court of Appeal in Abuja with Atiku alongside the CCB, the ICPC, and the CCB joined as co-respondents.
Under his second grounds of appeal, the former minister maintained that “the award of cost of N5 million in favour of the 1st respondent and the 3rd respondent by the trial court was not done judicially and judiciously in the circumstances of this case”. “The propriety or otherwise of the appellant’s letter of 16 January 2023 was the main issue to be determined in the substantive suit, not at this interlocutory stage,” the senior lawyer wrote.
In the suit he filed through his counsel, Festus Ukpe, the former minister sought an order of the court to CCB, EFCC and ICPC to invite or arrest Atiku, Nigeria’s former vice president.
