SUMMARY OF FACTS
The appellants case rested substantially on an allocation of the land in dispute to one ancestor of the respondent who had married a daughter of theirs by the name Odene; this story was expressly rejected by the learned trial judge who described it as a fairy tale and denounced it in terms not dissimilar to those employed by one of the plaintiffs witness, Emeka Nnaechi.
