The allegations of the Applicants is that on the 20th of September, 2013, the armed agents of the Defendant invaded an uncompleted building occupied by the Applicants, killed some of the Applicants (as named and represented by the 1st Applicant) and wounded the 2nd to the 12th Applicant thereby violating their right, inter alia, to life and integrity and dignity of the human person. The Defendant’s admitted that they actually invaded the premises as alleged, shot, killed and wounded some persons who were suspected to be members of the dreaded Boko Haram Terrorists. However, their defence is that when they approached the building in question, they were first shot at by the occupants and they returned fire which resulted in some deaths. Accordingly, their contention is that there was no violation of the rights of the Applicants in view of the fact that they acted in self – defence and out of necessity.
