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.
Court Suit #EndBadGovernance Protesters
The plaintiffs had sought a court order to halt the nationwide protests, arguing that their fundamental rights—including freedom of movement, human dignity, the right to own property, economic and social development, and national peace and security—were being violated by the demonstrations.
They requested that the court compel the heads of the DSS, police, and army, as well as the AGF, to enforce their rights by curbing the actions of the protesters.
