A Federal High Court in Lagos, on Wednesday, fixed April 14 to hear a motion for stay of its judgment on the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge toll.

The motion was filed by the Attorney General of Lagos State, Mr Ade Ipaye.

Human Rights Activist, Mr Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, had filed a suit on Nov. 26, 2012, against the Lagos State Government (LASG).

He challenged the collection of toll on the Lekki-Ikoyi Bridge by the state government. Joined as first and second respondents are the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA).

Ipaye, and the LASG were listed as third and fourth respondents, respectively. The suit, which was slated for hearing of a motion for stay of execution of the court's judgment delivered on March 27, was adjourned to April 14 for hearing.

Justice Saliu Saidu had observed that there was no proof of service of the motion on the AGF and NIWA, who were parties to the suit.

He, therefore, urged Ipaye to ensure service of the motion on the parties, adding that he could not hear the motion unless the parties were duly served.

He adjourned the case to April 14, for hearing.
