Chuku explained that the suit was filed because the parties involved had disobeyed a court order issued on March 15 which had restrained them from using soldiers for the elections.
The officials of the Nigerian Army involved include the Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Olonishakin; the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai and the Commander, 2 Brigade of the Nigerian Army.
