The Supreme Court has set aside the conviction and one-month imprisonment of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Dr Joseph Nwobike charged with an attempt to pervert the course of justice.

In a unanimous decision on Monday, a five-member panel of the Supreme Court, led by Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, faulted the earlier decisions of the Lagos High Court and the Court of Appeal, Lagos, and proceeded to uphold Nwobike’s appeal.
