36 - As to Defendants being Proper Parties Defendant before the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice 10.3.(a.) On the competency of this Court to entertain this suit because it is brought against persons who are not subject to the jurisdiction of this Court, it is hereby declared that the Defendants’ Motions for Preliminary Objections are granted for the reasons stated herein. Accordingly, the claims against them severally and jointly are denied and the case dismissed; that 2nd through 6th Defendants not being competent parties Defendants before the ECOWAS Community Court of Justice, the case against these Defendants is ruled inadmissible against them, and they are dropped as improper parties before this Court, and the case accordingly dismissed severally and jointly. 10.3.(b.) Declares that the 1st Defendant is the only proper party Defendant in this case, but that the Plaintiffs have not alleged and proven any violation, misconduct or wrongdoing committed against the Plaintiffs by the said 1st Defendant, and as such, there being no proper cause of action against the 1 st Defendant, the case is rendered inadmissible and is hereby dismissed and the claims denied. As to the case being devoid of purpose 10.4. As stated supra, just as this Court determined in the Mamadou Tandja case, this present case is devoid of purpose since President Goodluck Jonathan and his PDP did not win the elections, hence this instant case has lost its meaning and is hereby ruled to be devoid of purpose, and rendered dismissible, and hereby dismissed. As to costs The Court rules that there shall be no costs assessed for or against the parties. Thus made, adjudged and pronounced in a public hearing at Abuja, this 14th day of October, A.D.2015 by the Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States.
