Environment Degradation,UNN

A High Court sitting in Nsukka, Enugu State, on Tuesday, granted an order barring the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, from going ahead with a hostel project.

The interlocutory injunction was granted by Justice Hyacinthia Urunwa Ezeugwu while delivering judgement in suit No N/86/2020 filed by Hon Nnaemeka Aleke on behalf of Obukpa community against the UNN and Viagem Property and Investment Limited. Aleke in the suit had urged the court to stop further development of the 11,900-room hostel, which he alleged was causing environment degradation to his Obukpa community. He also sought N1 billion as damages.

It ruled that the two witnesses presented by the defendants could not controvert the overwhelming evidences of their plaintiffs. “The court also held that when it visited the site it saw the environmental damage, the plight of the plaintiffs. It now affirmed that the plaintiffs have proven their case and resolved all the issues against the defendants.
