Court Fixes March 12 For Hearing Of SNG Suit Against FG

A Federal High Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos, yesterday fixed March 12 for hearing of a suit filed by the Save Nigeria Group (SNG) against the federal government.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the SNG had filed a N100 million suit against the FG for deploying soldiers to Gani Fawehimi Park, Lagos.

The soldiers were deployed to the park on January 16, during the protest organised by the SNG against the removal of fuel subsidy.

When the matter came up for mention yesterday, SNG’s lawyer, Miss F. Ogbitebo, told the court presided over by Justice Steven Adah that the respondents were yet to be served with the processes.
