''One hastens to restate that a case is authority for what it actually decided. See Ibrahim V. JSC (1998) 14 NWLR (Pt. 584) 1 and Dangote v. C.S.C. Plateau State (2001) 9 NWLR (Pt 717) 132 at 155. For a previous decision of this Court to bind any court, the apex court not excepted, the facts and the law in the subsequent case must be the same or similar to those which informed the court's earlier decision.
