The court held that Sections 839 and 842 to 848 infringed constitutional rights to freedom of religion, association and peaceful assembly.
The ruling followed a legal challenge by lawyer Emmanuel Ekpenyong after the Federal High Court struck down the provisions in 2023. The appellate court upheld the main decision while modifying the ruling on Section 851, retaining some administrative functions of the CAC’s proceedings committee but limiting its authority over disputes and penalties.
