The claimant also sought an order directing the 1st and 6th defendants to co-comply with the consent judgment delivered on the 16th day of March 1992 by Justice C.O. Jacobs (retired).
It also sought an order striking out section 4(b) and schedule 3 to the Ogun Building Plan Regulation 2010 for contradicting, contravening and or inconsistent with the provisions of section 40 and four of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended).
