That if at all the alleged three girls were arrested by the Nigerian Police and men of the AEPB, neither the 1st, nor 2nd to the 4th Plaintiffs were, among them; the Plaintiffs therefore lack the legal capacity to bring a complaint on their behalf. The Defendant states that the 1st Plaintiff did at no time have the alleged experience with the Nigerian Police, Nigerian Army or the men of the AEPB. That the 1st Plaintiff is hiding under the canopy of human right activism to campaign for the legalization of prostitution in public places in the Federal Capital Territory.
