The respondents had claimed against the appellant

The learned trial Judge in a considered judgement gave judgement in favour of the respondents holding that estoppel had been proved by the respondents. He also held that Exhibits P 14 and P15 constituted an admission by Karimu Akide on behalf of Isiba family as to the identity of the first settler on the land. To him, if the admission was added to the evidence of traditional history on record the scale tilts convincingly in favour of the respondents.

Being dissatisfied with the judgement the appellants have appealed to the court of Appeal.
