Court Dismisses Osborne Residents' Suit Against Lekki Gardens

The residents’ association had gone before the court asking it to halt further construction, development or building activities in Osborne Foreshore Estate II, Ikoyi, Lagos being carried out by Nyong and his companies, Lekki Gardens Estate Ltd and Foreshore Waters Ltd.

But the judge declined to assume jurisdiction over the suit, holding that it is an abuse of court processes.Justice Oweibo also set aside an interim order restraining the respondents to stop ongoing construction works on the properties. Other respondents in the matter are the National Environmental Standard and Regulations Enforcement Agency and the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority.

Lekki Gardens Limited had in its response to the suit challenged the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the suit and also claimed that the plaintiffs concealed mattered facts to obtain the interim order.
