Nigerians Drag China to Court, Seek $200bn Compensation over COVID-19 Pandemic - THISDAYLIVE

Twenty-five Nigerians from all works of life have dragged the Peoples Republic of China before the Federal Capital Territory High Court over alleged culpability in the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Others are Ayobami Bakare, Olusegun Nelson, Oshineye Adebowole, Adeolu Odusesan, Yinka Omotosho, Mojeed Adelakun, Ajetoke Oyekan, Abdulhakeem Adeleke and Ademola Toromade. “The class due to the impasse and the attendant restrictions continues to incur heavy financial losses”. They accused China of failing to act in accordance with the Articles and the provisions of the International Health Regulations, 2005 which it equally ratified on June 15, 2007 and failing to promptly inform the World Health Organisation of its discoveries relating to Covid-19, adding that the act constitutes a breach of the above Articles, and admittedly an express neglect of an international obligation.
