After embarking on the voyage of sleepless night in order to solve the issue at hand, I was able to lay hands on the following recent decision of the Supreme Court: ...every notice of appeal or notice of application for leave to appeal or notice of application for extension of time within which such notice shall be given, shall be signed by the appellant himself... Further, ... Every notice of appeal in a criminal appeal must be signed by the appellant. Exceptions are if the appellant is insane, or is a company... per RHODES VIVOUR, J.S.C. in Iwunze V F.R.N. (2014) 6 NWLR Pt. 1404. Read more in the case please. The decisions there are interesting.
