of this Court. However, the 16th and 17th Defendants failed to respond to the
Plaintiff’s petition. Following this, the Plaintiff filed this application seeking
reliefs to enable him enforce the judgment entered in his favor by this Court
in the face of the 1st Defendant’s failure and refusal to honor its Public
International Law obligation under the ECOWAS Treaty and Protocol. The
reliefs sought in this very action, which are in part, a reflection of the earlier
judgment are as follows:
RELIEFS SOUGHT BY THE APPLICANT
The Applicant seeks the following reliefs from the Honourable Court:
1. A DECLARATION that the 1st Defendant is in breach of its treaty obligations
by not complying voluntarily with the decision and orders of this Honourable
Court made in favour of the Applicant against the 1st Defendant.
2. A DECLARATION that the 1st Defendant is in breach of its treaty obligations
by failing to take the necessary steps to domesticate the ECOWAS Protocols
setting up this Honourable Court, the ECOWAS Court of Justice so as to
render the decisions of this Court enforceable within its territory.
3. A DECLARATION that the 2nd – 15th Defendants are under an obligation to
take all reasonable steps to compel the 1st Defendant to comply with the
decision and orders of this Honourable Court made in favour of the Applicant
against the 1st Defendant
4. AN ORDER DIRECTING the 1st Defendant to forthwith comply with the
decision and orders of this Honourable Court by paying the judgment sum of
US$800,000.00 and costs of N500,000.00 to the Plaintiff
