An Enugu State High Court has granted the motion for amendment in the case concerning the deaths of 21 coal miners allegedly killed by British colonial police during the November 18, 1949, Iva Valley massacre in Enugu.
In the suit, NO: E/909/2024, filed by Mazi Greg Nwachukwu Onoh on behalf of the victims’ families, the plaintiffs demanded accountability from the British Government, the Commonwealth, and the Federal Government of Nigeria.
They sought an acknowledgment of liability, a formal apology from the British Government, and comprehensive compensation for the loss of their loved ones.
