a. That the 2nd - 11th Plaintiffs, not being residents of Bundu, do not have sufficient interest in the dispute emanating from the planned demolition for urban renewal in that community and, as such, they lack the standing to institute and maintain the suit. For the 1st plaintiff, the lack of standing is also based on the fact that it has not been affected in any way by the acts attributed to the defendants and there is no public interest to legitimize the complaint. b. That the 3rd - 5th defendants are not proper parties to the dispute because, not being ECOWAS Men1ber States, they are not under the jurisdiction of the ECOWAS Court of Justice. Therefore, it is only a High Court in Nigeria that is competent to hear the case and, as such, this Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain same. c. That the Plaintiffs have not disclosed any cause of action against the 1st and 2nd defendants. !
