The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Nigeria Police to unseal the headquarters of the Peace Corps within seven days.
Justice Gabriel Kolawole ruling on Thursday, also ordered that N12.5 million be paid to the paramilitary organisation as damages.
Recall that the police on February 17, 2017, stormed the Peace Corps headquarters and later got the leader of the organisation, Dickson Akoh, and about 49 others arrested.
The police accused Mr. Akoh of using the Peace Corps, registered as a non-governmental organisation, to swindle young job seekers and operate as a para-military agency.
Mr. Akoh, who denied the allegations, has since been granted bail.
The Peace Corps is seeking to be legalised as a government paramilitary agency. It has gotten backing of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The bill to legalise the group os waiting for the accent of President Muhammadu Buhari.
