Ms Onasanya’s appeal will only be allowed if the court finds either the verdict was wrong in that it erred in law or in fact or in the exercise of its discretion, or Unjust because of a serious procedural or other irregularity in the proceedings.

The independent MP was released from prison last week after serving four weeks of her three month sentence.

She has refused to comment about her conviction since being found guilty in December.
