Ibrahim had informed the court that they couldn’t serve the Originating Motion  on the 3rd respondent who had only appeared in court once because he had left the country for Dublin where he resides.

The judge further ruled that the order of substituted service of Originating Motion and affidavit of urgency filed on February 19, 2021 on the 3rd respondent  should be served and published in major newspaper with the  accompanying processes.

They prayed the court for “an order of injunction restraining the respondents, their agents, privies , servants and officers from further inviting, arresting, detaining the Applicants in any way.

The applicants  also prayed the court to grant a sum of N5,000,000,00)  against the respondents jointly and severally as exemplary damages for the unwarranted infringement of the applicants’ fundamental rights.

They also asked the court for a  Mandatory Order directing the respondents to tender an apology in writing to the applicants for the publicly harassing them.
