Respondents that this suit be struck out on the Grounds that it bothers on tribal/ethnic differences cannot be sustained and the Court so hold. WHETHER THE 2nd to 6th RESPONDENTS ARE PROPER PARTIES TO THIS SUIT. 23. The 1st-4th Respondents contend that the Applicants’ application did not make any averment that justify their presence in this suit and therefore they cannot be made to suffer for an act which they neither committed nor are complicit in. Furthermore, the 5th-6th Respondents in their submissions contend that this court does not have the jurisdiction to entertain an action filed by an individual against another individual and accordingly cannot be admissible. 24. In the light of the fact that the Applicants on 3rd May 2017 applied to strike out the names of 2nd to 6th Respondents which the Court granted, the question as to whether they are proper persons before this Court is therefore mute. The Court will therefore not make further pronouncement on this head of the preliminary objection of the Respondents. ANALYSIS OF THE COURT ON THE SUBSTANTIVE SUIT 25. Having held on the first head of the Preliminary objection that the Applicants have made a clear cause of action against the Respondent, the Court will now proceed to analyze the facts presented and reach a decision on the substantive suit for which the Court has distilled one issue for determination. WHETHER THE APPLICANTS HAVE THE LOCUS STANDI TO INSTITUTE THIS CASE. 26. The Applicants are 12 in number made up of 11 people of different occupations and one organization. They aver that the Fulani herdsmen and farmers’ conflict in Benue state which started over decades ago as mere conflict escalated to an invasion and occupation agenda amounting to terrorism. That within the last three years Fulani herdsmen have carried out over fifty (50) aggressive attacks in over 15 local government areas of Benue state including their communities. That during the attacks, their community and some other communities in Benue State suffered wanton destruction of their properties including; burning down and general destruction of houses and homes, sundry household items, farms, economic trees, vehicle, machineries, food stuffs, schools and that over 1000 people have been killed and hundreds of thousands displaced and living in deplorable makeshift camps. 11
