Federal High Court Ikoyi, Lagos, has cancelled any toll or tariff on the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge.
Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge.
The cancellation was made after the suit, filed by the human rights lawyer, Ebun Adegboruwa, the presiding judge Justice Saidu, that stated that the power of control of navigable waterways in Nigeria belongs to the Federal Government only.
The only document provided to justify the fee was the private partnership law.
However, the law could not be applied to the Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge as it was built with the state money of Lagos State Government, with no investments from any private partnership.
“Thus, since there is no law supporting the toll fee, it is illegal and should be stopped forthwith”, Justice Saidu commented.
“Coming a day after the same court nullified the imposition of new number plates, this judgment should be an elixir to all Nigerians to challenge in the court, all illegal taxes and arbitrary charges in the name of road tax, PHCN metre maintenance charge, estimate bills without electricity, and so on”, Adegboruwa commented on the courage of the judge.
