The ECOWAS community court of justice has granted an out of court settlement application for a case involving the federal government and nine victims of the Nigerian civil war.

In 2012, hundreds of mine victims of the war had dragged the federal government before the ECOWAS court, asking for an order for the removal of remnants of war instruments stockpiled in 11 states of the south-east, south-south and part of the north-central.

The instruments are said to include life bombs, abandoned unexploded ordnances (AXO), unexploded ordnances (UXO) and the explosive remnant of war (ERW).

The victims also asked the court to compel the federal government to rehabilitate the areas and compensate them for the damages.

On October 24, counsel to both parties filed an application for out-of-court settlement, on the ground that they have reached agreeable terms.

At its sitting on Monday, the court granted the application, ordering the parties to abide by the terms of the settlement.

Part of the terms of the settlement obtained by TheCable stipulates that the federal government “undertakes to pay, without delay, compensation in the summer of N50 billion in full and final sum to the victims, their families and communities as contained in Schedule 4(1) to this terms of settlement.

“That FG undetakes to the pay of undertakes to lay a total sum of N38 billion as contained in schedule 4(2) to this terms of settlement for the purposes of carrying out total demining and destruction, rebuilding of public buildings, mine centre activities, construction of class rooms, provision of prosthetics and all other activities enumerated thereunder.”

How did you end up becoming a mod. Your reasoning is too shallow, and your bigotry reaches high heaven. You can as well ask what would have happened to Jamar of Zambia if he refused to concede to Barro when ecowas asked him to do so. You think Nigeria exists alone in lawless and anarchy among other African countries. May be the giant of Africa thing is deceiving you.

Spotted. Who has your lord and Messiah Jubril for those he massacred during his devilish coup against a democratically elected government? Who has he appologised to for the maiming of over 9 corp members in the north in the aftermath of his defit in 2011 election? Carry your backwardness commot for here.
