The Incorporated Trustees of Mzough U Tiv and five others had filed a fundamental human rights suit, alleging that the governor and service chiefs in the State hate them.
The group also alleged that the panel of inquiry was set up in a way to work against Tiv people.
Ruling on the suit, Ahmed Mohammed, the presiding judge, held: “I hereby make an order directing all the respondents to appear on August 26, 2020, to show cause on why the prayers being sought by the plaintiffs’ should not be granted.”
