(as altered) together with the Revised Treaty and all other applicable ECOWAS Protocols. 3. An order of Court directing the Respondent to compensate the family of the deceased with the sum of N1, 000,000,000 (One Billion Naira). 4. And for such further or other orders the Court may deem fit to make in the circumstance. The Respondent’s Defence The Respondent prayed for an extension of time to file their defense and sought the following orders: a. A declaration that the Respondent has not breached the fundamental human rights to life of Mr. Abutu Adamu. b. An order dismissing the Applicant’s action in its entirety. c. An order awarding cost against the Applicant on behalf of the Respondent. The Court granted the order for an extension of time and proceeded to hear the application on its merits. The Respondent in its defense stated that there is only one Respondent as is evident from the processes filed. That the events leading up to the death of the said Mr. Abutu Adamu are speculative and puts the Applicants to the strictest proof. The Respondent stated that their investigations showed that there are no army officers known as Corporal Aminu and Lt. Col. A. Y. Abdul who served on any task force and that the Special Task Force in Angwan Rukuba had no record of any shooting on the 26th December, 2010 as claimed by the Applicant. The Respondent also denies the events after the alleged shooting of the deceased and puts the Applicants to the strictest proof. The Respondent stated that the Nigerian Police Force investigated the matter and puts the Applicant to the strictest proof as it believes that its agents took all reasonable steps to investigate all the complaints of the Applicants. The Respondent urges the Court to dismiss the matter as it is frivolous, vexatious, baseless, and incompetent and an abuse of Court process. 4
