The Federal High Court had at the last session, penultimate week, asked the plaintiffs to serve Taylor through the Cross River State governor. The governor, however, declined and filed a preliminary objection challenging the court's jurisdiction over the matter. Egbuna and another Nigerian businessman allegedly met a cruel fate during the 10-year civil war in Sierra Leone in the hands of the Revolutionary United Front rebel group allegedly sponsored by Taylor of Liberia. In the suit the plaintiffs cited Charles Taylor, the federal commissioner for Refugees, President Olusegun Obasanjo and the federal attorney-general among others as defendants. The plaintiffs are challenging the asylum granted Taylor by President Obasanjo last year. The Federal High Court Abuja yesterday granted the prayer of the plaintiffs to serve Taylor through publication of advertisement of the court's processes in The Guardian and ThisDay newspapers. The plaintiffs' legal team was led by Mr. Babatunde Fabohunlu from the Open Society Justice Initiative. � 2003 - 2004 @ Guardian Newspapers Limited (All Rights Reserved).  Powered by dnetsystems.net dnet�
