Some members of the Abuja #BringBackOurGirls
protest group have asked a court to order Abuja Commissioner of Police, Joseph
Mbu, to pay them N200 million in damages for violating their
rights due to the ban he imposed on their rallies.
Shortly after the group filed the
lawsuit, Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, overruled the ban.
Femi Falana, popular civil
rights activist, filed the suit on behalf of the group, Punch reports.
It is unclear whether the group will still pursue
the lawsuit now that the ban on the protests has been lifted.
