Muslims members of Southern Kaduna community in Kaduna State has asked the ECOWAS Court of Justice sitting in Abuja to order the Federal Government to pay them the sum of N105bn as compensation for failing to protect them from an alleged ethno-religious cleansing carried out by indigenous members of the community after the April 2011 presidential election.

The suit, which came up for hearing on Wednesday, was filed on behalf of the Southern Kaduna muslims by the plaintiffs – the Registered Trustees of Jamaa Foundation, Alhaji Suleiman Ahmed, Alhaji Muhammed Zailani, Malam Sale Waziri, Wada Balarabe and Yakubu Yunusa.

The Federal Government of Nigeria and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice were listed as the respondents.

Southern Kaduna muslims claimed that the Federal Government failed to protect them from a premeditated mayhem which led to the death of 838 members of their community on April 18 and 19, 2011.

In the suit filed by their lawyer, Abdulfatah Bello, they claimed that “the premeditated mayhem was executed in Kamuru Ukulu on the 18th day of April 2011.”

They said, “In the evening of the said day while the Muslim community were enjoying the peace of the after effect of the presidential election, their habitat was surrounded by some indigenous youths who mounted illegal road blocks to and from the town.”

The plaintiffs claimed that, in the civil disturbances that ensued shortly after the road block was set up, their members lost lives and property while relevant agencies of the government failed to restore order in the community.

The plaintiffs also claimed that, so far, none of those responsible for the alleged crime has been arrested.

They therefore asked the court to declare that the failure of the respondents to provide timely protection for them was unlawful and violated their human rights, as guaranteed under the African Charter of People and Human Rights, and the UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

Also, the Southern Kaduna Muslim community asked the court to order the Federal Government to pay them a total of N105bn as compensation.

Wahala gey oh! I wonder Wђɑ̤̥̈̊† τhe christians will sue τhe muslims for?

See these retardeens.

After failing to curb the violence intrinsic to their religion (the violent minority of muslims that are terrorists) they want compensation?


smh

these guys are clowns. this is best ignored!

Southern Kaduna muslims claimed that the Federal Government failed to protect them from a premeditated mayhem which led to the death of 838 members of their community on April 18 and 19, 2011.

And over 3 MILLION Igbos killed between 1967-1970 plus over 5000 over the years in various clashes and they are complaining of a PALTRY 838?

Infact, Gowon should have been at the Hague then! LUBBISH!!

most people are only living because it is illegal to kill.

what sort of insult is this??

Comedy half hour.

N105 billion suit against the federal government for failing to protect them from post-election onslaught? Hmmm. There was a pogrom that took place in the north in 1966. Let's calculate the price tag of the victims suit.

838 deaths = N105,000,000,000 (Post election deaths)

30,000 deaths = X (Pre-Biafran war pogrom)

Solution:

X = 30000 x 105000000000 / 838

X = (Can someone do the calculation for us?)

Then Igbos should be given the whole of Nigeria as compensation for the millions of their citizens that were killed during the civil war and even on daily basis.

Are all these not enough reasons to constantly say that these Muslims are full of shit? When the killers are also Muslims. Muslims have not been able to peacefully lived with other Non-Muslims through out the world. Can anyone mention any country for me and I will tell you the havoc they committed in that country

Islam, the religion of peace. I hope the money is for peace promotion. Abi, una wan have ur 72 virgins here on earth. U wan build jet fly go heaven abi?

The FG will be stupids enough to even listen to this rubbish.
Unless the FG want to start compensating every region for all the killings
done around the country.

Lwkmd dis muslim people think they are invisible
Abi?smh

This conforms with a wise saying in my home town.
The millipede stepped upon did not yell and the one that stepped the millipede is the one yelling at the top of his voice.
What a manifestation for Muslims Community to sue for an act they are perpetrating!

They are very mad!!! The fg shud pay them N105b so they can keep sponsoring boko haram abI!! The fg not protecting them,is it not their very leaders harbouring those criminals!!! E be like sey Jtf don give 2 much garri 2 dese ppl chop. .

Fck dis trash.... Wtf i hate dis religion... Always lookin for ways to make troubles... #ignored..

some lawyers just wan be SAN by all means na those lawyers dey instigate all these frivolous suits

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] . These muslims will not cease to amaze me. Insanity of the north season 3 episode 4.

People who harbour terrorists are terrorists themselves, and should be treated as such. They are even lucky to still have houses, as it is standard military procedure to "level" cleared infrastructures if security cannot be guaranteed.

Can a person get paid for killing others? The biggest problem plaguing the north is illiteracy,they see everything as their right...what should the deceased family do,when the perpetrator wants money for being an assassin.

What will the Christians demand from the muslims/Boko-haram for the thousands of innocent christians they massacrered.
