EKO HOT BLOG reports that the case was struck out due to the plaintiffs’ failure to diligently pursue the matter.
Justice Peter Lifu, who presided over the case, terminated the suit on Thursday after both the 17 plaintiffs and the 26 defendants failed to appear in court.
Additionally, no legal representation was present for either side despite the case being scheduled for a hearing.
The judge expressed surprise at the no-show, noting that none of the 17 plaintiffs, who represented all six geopolitical zones of Nigeria, were present or represented by legal counsel.
