The Central bank of Nigeria, CBN, has been ordered by a Federal high court to pay the sum of eight billion naira (N8bn), to some Tiv communities in Ukum, Logo, Kwande and Katsina-Ala Local Government Areas of Benue State for the loss of lives and properties the communities suffered during the invasions by soldiers of the Nigerian Army in 2001.
