A Federal High Court in Abakaliki, Ebonyi on Tuesday, disbanded the South-East security outfit, Ebubeagu in Ebonyi State.
The ruling delivered was due to reported human rights abuses, extortions, illegal arrests and use of fire arms.
The Court stressed the cases of human rights abuse, extortions, illegal arrests and use of firearms as reasons for disbanding the outfit.
Ebubeagu is a regional security outfit established by Southeast governors to confront insecurity, especially vicious attacks by criminals suspected to be herders, which have forced people to abandon their farms.
Several cases of human rights abuse, especially extrajudicial killings of local residents have been traced to the outfit in Imo and Ebonyi.
