Counsel to the plaintiffs, Joseph Henkyaa Esq however applied for the withdrawal of the motion to regularise all processes, make necessary corrections and refile the suit again.

According to Henkyaa, “as of  2006 when the case was settled all the parties were legal entities but admitted that following the court observations, it was obvious that some have ceased to exist therefore would be excluded.”

When the case came up for mention, chairman of the four man panel, Amos Azi asked the plaintiff to regularise all court processes and refile the suit.

Azi said, since the plaintiffs have withdrawn the case to refile, all parties involved should be re-served and adjourned the case to 12th May for hearing.
