On Saturday, the nine-man panel returned control of the tollgate to the operators of the Lekki Concession Company.

The company had been praying to the panel through its lawyer to allow it to take over the place for repair and insurance claims from December 2020.

But the panel said the toll plaza could not be handed over because the Lagos state government paid a forensic expert to examine the toll gate in connection with the shooting incident on October 20.

The LCC’s prayer was answered on Thursday when the panel gave the company access to the toll gate to reopen.

The forensic examination report, which was supposed to be ready on Tuesday, has yet to be published by the panel.
