A Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt will on the 1st of June hear a suit filed by the Hausa Community in Rivers State against Governor Nyesom Wike, over the seizure of cows and trucks from Adamawa State.
The cows and trucks were seized by the state government for violating its lockdown order.
Wike said the trucks would be auctioned by the state government.
The Hausa Community are also demanding the sum of N100,000,000 as compensation for the arrest of their kinsmen who were in the state on a business trip alongside their cows and trucks.
Justice E.O. Obile fixed the date to allow the plaintiff to put Gov Wike on notice over the case.
Counsel for the arrested Hausas, Eze Kpaniku, said that Wike erred by arresting the Northerners, adding that they had waivers from the Federal Government.
Eze Kpaniku also lamented that both his clients and their cows have been arrested and dumped at the Isolation center without food and medication for days.
