whealthy: Falana said "vicariously liable"... It is a principle of law in which the master is held to be jointly or severally responsible for the acts of his servant in a master servant relationship, once the act that injures the victim falls within the duty delegated to the servant.. For instance, your sErvant drives and knocks down a person, the person can sue you or your driver or both of your for compensation.
In this case, Fashola delegated duty to demolish to the police, so MIGHT be vicariously liable, however this is to be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Also, Fashola can argue that he is not vicariously liable as the relationship is not that of a master/servant which is usually mostly based on not only delegatin duty, but tellin them how to do it.
The court would be the final destination

don buchi:


some people's head need to be examined. like the author of this thrash...

darespec: GOOD QUESTION JUJU.... I GUESS THAT SHOULD DO. HE NEVER PULLED THE TRIGGER NEITHER DID HE ASKED ANYONE TO KILL ANYONE. SOMETIMES STATES APPOINTED OFFICIALS DO MORE THAN THEY ARE ASKED TO. IMAGINE AGBERO ASKING DRIVER FOR PARTICULARS AND LICENSE..MTCHEWWWWWWWWWWWW.... PEOPLE SHOULD STOP SAYING TRASH..

abankula: It is an undisputable fact that Fashola is one of the very few performing governors in the country.
However, it must be said that fashola really got it wrong this time. If lagos state government felt
that these buildings were distorting the free flow of water and the lives of the residents could also
be endangered by continuing resident on this site, the proper and reasonable things to do would have
been to provide alternative site for these people to live.

I became visibly worried while recently watching the commissioner for environment in lagos saying that
government did not have any plan to resettle the affected residents of makoko. Why will a reasonable and
sensitive government ignore its responsibility to ensure provision of habitable shelter for its citizens?

As a governor and chief security officer in lagos state on whom his instruction to demolish the houses of
these settlers, without provision for alternative place, was carried out, Fashola should therefore be held
responsible for the death and injuries that might be recorded during this demolition.

mikeapollo: This is what you get when people are ignorant, shallow thinking and praise medicocrity!

The shores/coastal lines in Nigeria are under the Nigeria Inland Waterways Authority. No court order was obtained to evict the people. No alternative(s) or compensation was provided. And you sent police armed with live ammunition to go carry out an illegal action of eviciting people from a place they have been living for over 20 years. Now the people sleep in their canoes, day, night, in the sun and in the rain!
The person(governor) who sent them is to be held responsible. Fashola is a dictator and is responsbible for the deaths of some people. And he has been doing all these things against the poor people'

Check the records:
1.Demolition of poor peoples houses under the guise of road constrcution/physical development(but he did not destroy Civic Centre opposite Law School.Infact the road construction there was compromised in order to leave the building untouched because the building belongs to a very rich man
2. LASU school fees hike, and using police to suppress the students
3.Yaba Market fraud....taking over shops/stalls from poor market women and selling them to rich people
4.Lekki toll gates imposition....and using police to suppress the protests
5. Sack of 800 doctors...and using the police to disperse them forcefully from their meeting venue
7. Demolishing poor people's house at Makoko..and using police to suppress protesters.
8. Arrest, harrassment and detention without trial of poor youn boys/girls hustling to seel gala, pure water etc by the road side to survive, while criminal agbero/touts are left untouched

Fashola is the worst anti-poor people governor in the democratic history of Lagos. He wants to take that shore line and sell it to the rich.He has not done anything that benefits the poor. The projects he claims to be doing are all located in elitist areas. Nothing in Agege, Alimosho, Ikorodu areas etc where the bulk of the masses live. Only sinking boreholes and generators to water flowers/street lights. No single low cost housing estates that low income earners than rent/buy. No single new market has been built for poor women to earn a living from. Even Tinubu with all the misconceptions some people have about him, did all these things for the poor people in the grass roots. Even built more schools. How many schools has Fashola built?

When a governore wakes up in day to tell the whole world that he has sacked the whole 800 medical doctors in the state(many of whome had started practice before he became governor) and goes ahead to call them 'irresponsible' and vows not to recall them until a higher power (god-father) intervened, then we definitely have a dictator in our midst as governor!

Yet this is the person some people call 'best governor'! We must be in serious trouble as a nation.

We will continue to have bad governance with impunity in Nigeria because we have so many shallow thinking and ignorant people/followers who worship and praise mediocrity.

May God grant the soul of the poor man (this will never happen to a rich man in Ikoyi/VI e.g Civic Centre owner) rest in peace.

It is definitely a crime to be a poor man under Fashola's Lagos Govt!

jackbauersballs: Why is Falana talking like an uneducated shymmex?

Why should the Government compensate these people for the demolition of their ILLEGAL structures?

The Guy that was shot was most likely resisting the police based on his 'position' as 'chief'.

And how on earth can you blame Fashola? Did he pull the trigger? or Was it a 'hit'

Falana get real!

mbhs139: Like someone rightly said on this platform, that it is the supporter of President Obama that criticises him the most. Not for anyhting, but to tell him the truth at all times. I'm an ardent supporter of Fashola, but I can not open my eyes to brazen unlawfulness. Mr. Gov., you goofed on this one adn you need to be told the truth.

kolexy: @ mikeapollo


Eh yah! Why don't you go back to your village.

Litmus:





Back to their countries, you mean. According to BBC most of the inhabitants of Makoko are from Benin, Togo, Ghana etc.

Use link, scroll to bottom of BBC page


To my country? Dont worry. . Poor peoples lives/property are being destroyed under some guise and you say I should go back to my village/country?
You can continue to shout 'Halleluyah/Hossanah' until when it happens to your family or someone close to you. Whatever goes around will surely come around one day. It is a matter of time.
If you rejoice at the brutal killing of a poor man because you are in love with Fashola and suck his dick everyday, nemesis is not far away from you too.

May be you think Fashola is the only governor in the history of Lagos. I know of Jakande and Tinubu's era as governor....none of them made poor people to suffer unnecessarily. They provided for both the poor and rich. And they are both better than Fashola! All what Lagos state can boast of today are either established/founded by Jakande or Tinubu. Fashola has not done anything nothing new!

afam4eva: If Goodluck Jonathan can be blamed for some men's inability to perform in bed then i see no reason why Fashola should not be blamed for this gruesome murder.

Billyonaire: If there was no court order to demolish the place, then Fashola should be held accountable for the death of Timothy Agbe and the demolition. Although that demolition was long overdue, there was supposed to be a court order and adequate compensation made to the inhabitants. What is fashola doing with the state allocations and the enormous IGR from Lagos State. Fashola is a lawyer by profession he is supposed to know better not to be unilateral in exercise of the office of governor.
