Justice O. Sule-Amzat of Lagos High Court, Yaba has fixed October 21,2022 for definite hearing of a suit filed by a human right activist, Mr. Akaraka Chinwe Ezeonara over alleged murder of four Ladipo market traders allegedly killed by the Police.

The case has come to be known as Ekwulobia Four.

Ezeonara, Chris Okpara; Remigus Ezenwane and Ifeanyi Okoye had on March 27, 2014 instituted N4billon fundamental right enforcement suit against Inspector-General of Police (IGP), a former Commissioner of Police in Lagos, AIG Marvelous Akpoyibo (retired), Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF), Attorney-General of Lagos State, Commissioner of Police, Lagos State and Divisional Police Officer, Aguda over alleged extra-judicial killing of four Ladipo market traders.

 

 

The traders; Anthony Ezenwafor, Chukwuemeka Ezeofor, Izuchukwu Ezeama, and Aloysius Osigwe were allegedly killed by the police on July 21, 2001.

At the resumed hearing of the case, the claimant counsel, Modupe Omo-Ekpadi from Falana and Falana Chambers informed the court that all the respondents have been served the hearing notice, but she was surprised that they were not in court.

 

 

 

 

The judge had sometime in June ordered that hearing notice be issued to the Nigerian Police and others in the suit before fixing September 27 for hearing, but the matter could not go on due to new legal year activities.
