The ruling followed a case filed on Feb. 4 by Peter Ikpila and Bem Dutse, accusing the police of unlawfully killing the deceased on Nov. 16, along Jalingo-Wukari road. Counsel to the plaintiffs, Mr Augustine Chukwuma, said the police killed the deceased when they were travelling to Wukari for a night church programme. Chukwuma said that his deceased were ordered to lie face down by arm robbers, who robbed them and fled only for police to arrive and killed the helpless victims extra-judicially. He said the action of the police contravened the fundamental human rights of the deceased as contained in Sections 33 (1) and 46 of the 1999 constitution as amended.

Slovyansk has become the epicenter of fighting between pro-Russia insurgents and government forces in recent weeks. The city — located 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of the Russian border — has seen constant clashes and its residential areas have regularly come under mortar shelling from government forces, prompting some residents to flee. An Associated Press reporter witnessed the helicopter's downing Thursday. It wasn't immediately clear what weapons the rebels used to shoot it down, exactly where the helicopter fell or what happened to its crew. The Kiev government condemns the insurgency roiling the east as the work of "terrorists" bent on destroying the country and blames Russia for fomenting it. Russia denies the accusations, saying it has no influence over rebels, who insist they are only protecting the interests of the Russian-speaking population of the east. Still, fighters from Russia, including the battled-hardened region of Chechnya, have been ap...
