A Federal High Court sitting in Warri, Delta State, on Thursday, adjourned the N100bn lawsuit filed by indigenes of Okuama community in Ughelli North Local Government Area against the Nigerian Army, challenging the military invasion and destruction of the community to June 4.
It will be recalled that the military invasion and vandalism of the Okuama community came on the heels of the March 14, 2024 killing of 17 military officers and soldiers said to be on a peace mission following a communal clash between Okuama and neighbouring Okoloba community in the Bomadi LGA of Delta State.
The suit, marked FHC/WR/CS/41/2024, has as plaintiffs 17 members of the Okuama community suing for themselves and on behalf of the entire community.
