In the instant case, the Applicants alleged that the various attacks on their communities by the Fulani herdsmen which they claimed amounted to the violation of their human rights including right to life, right to equality before the law, right to health and right to peace and security amongst other rights. Both oral and documentary evidence were adduced to support these allegations including 5 witnesses who 3 of them are Applicants who testified to the alleged attacks that led to death of thousands of the residence of the affected communities and loss of properties. 31. The Applicants also supported their case with newspaper reports of the crisis even though, there are no pictorial evidence of the actual damage; it is undisputed from all documents before the Court that there was a general mayhem in the affected communities resulting in death and loss of property. The Court in its decisions has held that where a violation of human rights is alleged, the Court will automatically exercise its jurisdiction over the case. In CDD v. Mamadou Tandja (2010) CCJELR pg. 109 & Bakare Sarre & 28 Ors v. Mali (2011) (CCJELR) pg. 57 the court held that: “Once a human rights violation which involves international or community obligations of a member state is alleged, it will exercise its jurisdiction over the case.” Similarly, in Kareem Meissa Wade v. Republic of Senegal, ECW/CCJ/JUD/19/13, at pg. 259 Para. 95 (3), this court held that: “Nevertheless, that simply invoking human rights violation in a case suffices to establish the jurisdiction of the Court over that case. Therefore the condition precedent to establishing an allegation of violation of human rights to enable the Applicants access the jurisdiction of the Court has been fulfilled and the Court so holds. 32. The second condition is that an applicant of human rights violation must establish the status as a victim who has suffered a personal and ascertainable loss. Article 10(d) of the Supplementary Protocol of the Court 2005 reads as follows: “Access to the Court is open to individuals on application for relief for violation of their human rights.” 13
