The Federal High Court sitting in Lagos has fixed May 6, 2019 for judgment in a suit filed by a human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria , Mr. Femi Falana, against the federal government for persistently allowing truck drivers to park on the bridges in Lagos
Falana is also seeking a declaration that “the parking of tankers and trailers on the overhead bridges in Lagos is illegal and unconstitutional. He said the failure to make the road safe for motorists violates his and others’ right to freedom of movement guaranteed by Section 41 of the 1999 Constitution.
According to him, commuters plying the road risk their lives due to the heavy-duty vehicles that are stranded on the road due to the level of dilapidation. The applicant sought an order directing the respondents to remove all obstructions on the expressway and to repair and maintain it forthwith. The respondent said Falana’s claims were not true, adding that the Apapa gridlock “is always caused by tanker drivers who normally follow the route to the port for the purpose of loading and offloading their goods.”
I am very interested in what the court would say about this case as the parking of those trailers has made it difficult the movement of people from one area to another
