ECOWAS COURT DELIVERS JUDGMENT ON ALLEGED EXTRA-JUDICIAL KILLINGS OF FIVE NIGERIANS

The Community Court of Justice of ECOWAS has, once again, shown its resolve to uphold its protective mandate and advance the safeguards of the African Charter and other applicable human rights treaties for the benefits of all citizens of ECOWAS. It is hoped that Nigeria would show leadership by complying fully with the recent order of the court mandating it to "conduct ‘appropriate inquiries’ into the disappearance of five Nigerians on 13th October 2010 after they were taken into police custody in Benin, Edo State, Nigeria".
