Subsequently on the 29th of September 2012 at about 8 pm the 1st Plaintiff went to see her brother and suddenly a man wearing a Man O’ war uniform grabbed her breast and held onto them in order to make her stop walking. He forced her to get into the bus which had AEPB and SAPLCLN written on it and she refused and started shouting for help. Thereafter, three armed military officers started beating her and threatened to shoot her if she did not get on the bus. She offered to show the assailants her identity card but they refused to accord her the opportunity rather they kept forcing her into the bus and calling her names. Passersby who saw what happened intervened and identified her as a Nollywood actress and they let her go. The 1st Plaintiff states that when her brother went to the AEPB office to enquire what had happened, the officers at the AEPB threatened to shoot him so she had the matter reported to zone 3 police station that same day. The police invited the then AEPB Director, one Mr. Isaa Shuaibu who explained that it was the SAPCLN staff and soldiers that assaulted the 1st Plaintiff and not the AEPB. Since the incident happened, no one was arrested or prosecuted based on her complaint. Again, the 1st Plaintiff avers that on the 6th of December 2012 few weeks after the incident stated above occurred, a similar ordeal happened to her on her way to collect signatures from business owners whose businesses were directly affected by the activities of AEPB and SAPCLN. These men were identified to be officers of the AEPB and security officers of the Defendant. 6
