The claimants, in an amended writ of summons, claimed that the monarch "is not a descendant of any lineage of Egiri Ruling house, lacks the prerequisite locus standi to vie for Agura of Gbagura stool and his selection/election, presentation and/or appointment and installation as Agura of Gbagura is null and void."[11]
