A human rights group has commended the court for its intervention in the ongoing Lekki waterfront property dispute, noting that there’s some measure of peace, following the order to the police to provide protection for the disputed property.
Meanwhile, the group, Human Rights and Grassroots Development Society (HRGDS) has condemned the escalating campaign of misinformation, alleged intimidation, and unwarranted attacks directed at the Nigerian judiciary in respect of the matter.
Executive Secretary of HRGDS, Comrade Femi Akanbi, in statement over the weekend explained that the order to all parties to maintain the status quo as well as to the police to preserve the subject matter of investigation, in order to restrain parties from the property was done “judicially, lawfully, and in accordance with settled legal principles.”
