The Incorporated Trustees of Computer Village Market Traders and Stakeholders Joint Management in Lagos have issued a pre-action notice to Chief Mrs. Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, daughter of President Bola Tinubu, to stop interfering in the market’s affairs. The traders, represented by Falana & Falana’s Chambers, cited a valid judgment from the Lagos State High Court, which permanently restrained her and her agents from imposing and collecting levies from market members.
The notice, dated August 28, 2024, accused Mrs. Tinubu-Ojo of multiple breaches of rights and interference, including instigating thugs and unauthorized levy collection. The traders demanded that she comply with the court judgment and cease further interference, warning that failure to do so would lead to legal action, including seeking costs.
The court judgment, delivered on December 8, 2020, by Justice Y. R. Pinheiro, restrained Mrs. Tinubu-Ojo and her agents from imposing levies on market members, declaring such actions illegal and a violation of their fundamental rights.
