Niger State civil servants numbering 50 have taken the immediate past governor of Niger State, Dr. Muazu Babangida Aliyu to Minna High Court 4 for unlawfully seizing their motorcycles.

The 50 civil servants said the action of the former governor violated their fundamental human rights. They were in the High Court demanding for compensations and general damages amounting to the sum of N100 million from the former governor.

In a suit filed on the 25/5/2015 by the counsel to the applicants, Barrister Adegoke Omoloja of Cosmic Chambers, Abuja, they prayed that the court should declare the seizure and the subsequent sale of their motorcycles by the former governor as illegal, null and void.

Consequently the applicants prayed to the court for an order awarding compensation of one million naira in favour of each of them against the respondents and another N50million as general damages.

In a 60 paragraph affidavit in support of the case deposed to by one Ndagi Mohammed, the applicants said that the arrest, seizure and sale of their motorcycles has brought untold hardship and difficulties to their families especially in getting to places of work, taking children to school and taking their wives to places of work or maternity checks
