In the suit marked FHC/B/CS/147/2016, the plaintiffs prayed the court to order the past principal, Patience Erhahon and the past acting principal, Gladys Madueke to refund the sum of N28 million collected by way of house dues and class dues from 2013/2014 to 2016/2017 academic sessions. The plaintiffs also want the court to direct the former principals to refund the sum of N90 million collected from the parents and guardians of the students of the college by way of Skool Media collections dues from 2013/2014 to 2016/2017 academic sessions. They further prayed the court to order the former principals to refund the sum of N30 million being the illegal collections in the name of insurance levy surreptitiously imposed on the students of the college between 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 academic sessions. The association prayed the court to direct the former principals to refund the sum of N34 million being excess profit from the compulsory purchase of books from the “ghost bookshop” in 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 academic sessions to parents and guardians. Other demands of the parents are refund of N2 million, N5 million, N12 million, N3 million and all other monies collected illegally by the former principals from 2013/2014, 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 academic sessions. The plaintiffs, however demanded the sum of N20 million damages each from Zenith Bank and Unity Bank of Nigeria Plc for a breach of customer relationship. The parents and guardians also prayed the court to make a declaration of the purported proscription and ban of PTA in the school by the organs of the federal government as illegal, null, void, unconstitutional and an infraction on the constitutional right of freedom of association of its members. Other prayer was the declaration that the Minister of Education acted outside the purview of his authority and power when he directed the director, basic and senior secondary education, Federal Ministry of Education, Abuja and the past acting principal to instruct Zenith and Unity Bank of Nigeria Plc to freeze the accounts of the Union. The PTA said the action was in defiance to the Federal Ministry of Education’s circular with reference number FME/S/146/C.7/T/, titled: “Advisory on the Management of PTA funds” and dated April 1, 2016. When the case came up for mentioning last Thursday, the Presiding Judge, Justice (Mrs.) Njoku, who granted leave to the plaintiffs to amend the originating process, adjourned the case to December 13, 2017, to enable defendants reply to the amended originating processes.]]>
