Femi Falana to Take Illegal Demolitions Victims to Court for Damages in Nigeria
Human rights lawyer Femi Falana has announced that victims of alleged illegal demolitions in Oworonshoki, Lagos State, are planning to seek redress in court. Recent court judgments, including a 200 million Naira award by the FCT High Court against the FCTA for unauthorized demolitions, have empowered victims to challenge such actions legally.
Falana highlighted previous landmark judgments in Lagos, where victims were awarded billions in damages. He emphasized citizens' legal rights to seek justice and warned public officials against acting outside the law.
The legal battle aims to hold authorities accountable and ensure due process is followed in such cases.
