The case, filed by the Constabularies against the IGP and the PSC, was led by Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Senastine Hon.

Along with the salary payments, the court also mandated the issuance of formal letters of employment and Certificates of Engagement to the Constabularies, who had been trained, provided with uniforms and boots, and deployed across various states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
