[Court stops toll collection on Ikoyi-Lekki bridge]
A Federal High Court in Lagos has stopped further collection of tolls from users of the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge.
Justice Saliu Saidu, in a judgment on Thursday, held that there was no existing law in the state conferring the power on government to generate revenue from the bridge.
The judge was delivering judgment on the suit instituted by a civil rights lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, challenging the power of Lagos State Government to collect toll on the bridge.
The suit was instituted against the Attorney General of the Federation, the National Inland Waterways Authority, the Lagos State Government and the state Attorney General.
Adegboruwa had urged the court to declare that the imposition of tolls on the users of the bridge amounted to violation of the rights of the users and residents of Lekki Scheme 1, Ikoyi, Ajah, Ibeju-Lekki and Epe communities.
In his judgment, Justice Saidu upheld Adegboruwa's contention that the power to control the Lekki Lagoon, upon which the bridge was built and other Federal Navigable Waterway lies with the Federal Government.
He said although the Federal Government had given some authority to the state to construct the bridge, there was no law authorising or permitting the collection of tolls on it.
The judge held that from his findings the bridge was built by public fund and that the bridge was not a Public-Private Partnership initiative for which the collection of toll could be allowed.
He said, "The question is, has the third respondent, the Lagos State Government, made appropriate law to enable it to collect toll on the bridge?
"The third respondent only cited Section 27, 28 and 29 of the Lagos State Public Private Partnership Law 2011 as making provision for collection of toll.
"There is nothing before me to show that the subject matter in this case was as a result of the Public Private Partnership Law.
[Army kills 11 B'Haram members, arrest 31]
The Special Forces have arrested 31 fighters of the Boko Haram Sect who were attempting to flee the country through Taraba State and Gumti in Adamawa State into Cameroon.
The Director of Defence Information, Maj.-Gen. Chris Olukolade, said in an electronic mail on Thursday that one of those arrested was a mercenary claiming to be a citizen of Chad and Burkinafaso.
Olukolade also said that 11 insurgents were also killed during shootouts with troops in the border communities.
He said that the terrorists who were involved in the encounter with the Special Forces were trapped and were forced out of their hideout by hunger.
According for the Defence spokesman, the Special Forces arrested some of the insurgents who left one of the camps in the forest took the security men to similar camps in the area.
He said that the Special Forces killed seven of the insurgents during a fierce gun battle in one of the camps.
He added that four other insurgents were killed in another battle with troops at Gombi.
Olukolade said that several categories of high calibre weapons, several Improvised Explosive Devices and over 70 motorcycles were recovered from the insurgents in the operations.
He said, "A group of terrorists attempting to escape into Cameroon through Taraba and Gumti in Adamawa State have come under heavy fire from troops on patrol of the area in the ongoing counter-terrorism campaign.
"The terrorists who had been trapped as a result of the ongoing offensive by the troops along the borders were given out when some of them could no longer bear the hunger in their make-shift camps in the forest.
"Those who were apprehended led troops to their hideouts where fierce fighting ensued.
"Seven terrorists died, while a large number of Improvised Explosive Devices and rifles were recovered including over 70 motorcycles.
"Similar encounter in Gombi also led to the death of four other terrorists."
