He said: “The concept of public interest litogation is to discourage recourse to self help and violence.
The court should be opened for all persons to seek redress in court hence the Supreme Court has in a plethora of cases admonished the courts to adopt a liberal view of locus standi.”
He opined that “the court was in grave error to have awarded a cost of one million naira only against the applicant @Prince Henry Efe Duku who challenged the state government over the 150 billion loan.”
“The court judgment is against Deltans and must be condemned by all,” he averred.
