Federal High Court in Warri, Delta State has fixed June 4, 2024 for the hearing on the fundamental rights applications filed by some indigenes of the Okuama Community in Ughelli south against the military.
This may not be unconnected to the destruction of the community where the Nigerian Army was slammed with three different lawsuits over alleged destruction and breach of the fundamental rights of the Okuama community and its residents.

The trial judge, Justice I. Sani adjourned to the date after hearing from counsel for the applicants when the case was mentioned on Thursday.
Respondents in the suit were never present neither were they represented in court while members of the Urhobo Progress Union (UPU) trooped to the court in solidarity with their embattled kinsmen.

The suits were: FHC/WR/CS/41/2024 and FHC/WR/CS/42/2024 and another filed by a non-governmental organisation (NGO).

Suit FHC/WR/CS/41/2024 had Victor Akemor and 16 others as applicants with the Nigerian Army as the respondent.
