The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Court of Justice, Abuja, has dismissed an application filed by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) against the Federal Government.

SERAP had, through its counsel, Mrs. Olufunmilola Falana and Olusola Egbeyinka on April 4, 2016, filed an application marked ECW/CCJ/JUD/08/21 against “violation of human rights of Nigerians and other individuals.”

But the Federal Government, through its counsel, Tijjani Gazali and Adedayo Ogundele, denied any violation against groups, settlement of compensation, contending that most of the issues were either settled or were at the appellate courts for further interpretation and final resolution.In a judgment delivered on April 26, 2021, the court, presided over by Hon. Justice Edward Asante, comprising Justice Gberi-Be Outattara and Justice Januaria Costa, declared the application inadmissible.

“The applicant, having purportedly initiated the instant action on behalf of a community or group, which lacks proper identification, the applicant’s locus standi in the matter cannot be sustained to admit the case for determination.
