The members of the panel, according to Vanguard checks, were drawn from five different divisions of the appellate court with a mandate to handle the pending cases.

The panel was said to have arrived Enugu on Wednesday and sat throughout the day during which they heard about nine motions brought by various  counsels in the matter.

As learnt, efforts by Uba”s counsels to get the panel to do a through job since none of the members had the history of the matter were reportedly rebuffed.
