In her ruling, Justice Inyang Ekwo failed to grant the order and rather urged the plaintiff to put the Federal Government on notice.

“Upon studying the process of the Applicant and averments in support thereon, I am of the opinion that the respondent should be put on notice,” the judge held.

Justice Ekwo also ordered that all the relevant processes should be served on FG, the sole respondent in the suit.
