LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT,DISOBEY'S COURT ORDER ON LEKKI IKOYI TOLL.

          According to a national newspaper,the Legal Defence and Assistance project {LEDAP},has slammed the Lagos State Government for violation of a court order which banned the collection of tolls on the Lekki Ikoyi link bridge.Mr Chino Obiagwu,the National coordinator of LEDAP,said ''Despite the order of the court,toll fees are still being collected from motorists on the bridge.The judgement of court was issued in the presence of lawyers of the state government.The Attorney General of the state Mr Ade Ipaye said at a press conference after the judgement that the government will appeal against the judgement.Such excuse is not a reason for disobeying the court order.The primary condition of constitutional Democracy is that Judgments and orders of court must be complied with by all persons concerned,including the government.It is regrettable that the Lagos State Government,governed by the major national opposition party,will flagrantly disobey court order,and continue to collect toll on the Lekki Ikoyi bridge.The conduct of the government in this regards smacks of  impunity and a complete disregard for the rule of law''.He also went ahead to say that ''The people must stand to resist abuse of power by public officials''.My question is these,is't not Tax money they use in building all these toll gates in Lagos?,so why pay for what has been paid for already.
