The ECOWAS Court of Justice on Friday dismissed a lawsuit filed against the Nigerian government over the 1996 assassination of Kudirat Abiola, wife of late MKO Abiola.
The suit, brought by Khalifa Abiola, Moriam Abiola, and Hadi Abiola, alleged that the government failed to hold those responsible accountable. However, the court ruled that the applicants lacked legal standing to sue on behalf of Kudirat Abiola’s estate.
The ruling, delivered by a panel of judges, emphasized that while human rights violations fall within the court’s jurisdiction, the applicants failed to establish their direct legal connection to the case.
