Attorney General of Federation to pay Abuja based lawyer,
Ebuka Nwaeze Esq. the sum of two thousand Naria (2,000) each .

IGP and AGF for the enforcement of his fundamental right of life,
freedom of movement , freedom from discrimination and ownership of
property.

African Charter of Human and People’s Right (Ratification and
Enforcement) Act; a declaration that the respondents being the DSS,
IGP and Attorney General of the federation have an obligation under
the said Laws and all other Laws of the federation enabling them in
that behalf, to create and maintain for the applicant and all those

satisfactory environment favourable for their development in all
parts of Nigeria; an order mandating the DSS and the IGP to arrest,
restrain and investigate the makers, signatories and sponsors of
the speech termed “Kaduna Declaration” which has threatened the
rights of the applicant, and those of the southern origin of the
