A group of Nigerian lawyers has filed a class-action lawsuit against Beijing over the spread of the CCP virus.
The lawyers are demanding $200 billion in compensation for the “loss of lives, economic strangulation, trauma, hardship, social disorientation, mental torture and disruption of the normal daily existence of people in Nigeria,” a statement by professor Epiphany Azinge says, according to several Nigerian media reports.
