OlujobaSamuel:

Mobile Court can try offenders and convict them, no doubt about that, but they can't declare that item of value be auctioned off, a superior court otherwise known as court of records are vested with such power.
Imagine such asset is tied to a loan? What will happen?
If such should go viral, that is, other states going same route, someone will definitely challenge it in court and we are going to see the true stance of the law.

But the punishment for such an offense has been stated clearly in 5he Lagos State Traffic and Other Offense Law.

OlujobaSamuel:

I'm not disputing such nor the sufficiency of the penalty against the crime.
My response is on the legality of the process. Using mobile court to auction off property is wrong, it's just like a magistrate court giving order for building demolition.

The mobile court is mainly there to try the offender and the stipulated penalty if found guilty is three months jail time and forfeiture of car to the state.

The issue of the courts have been resolved a long time ago.


Many years ago, when Fashola was governor, someone sued LASTMA and the courts declared that LASTMA has no right to impose punishments like fines and forfeitures. Therefore, what happens at the moment is that there are mobile courts all over the place where you will be tried if you commit a road traffic offence. However, you can chose to wave your right to trial and instead pay the fine or face whatever punishment that is prescribed. In doing so you have agreed to settle out of court.

Yes. I waived my rights to trial and paid the imposed fine.

OlujobaSamuel:
Yes, I think it is legally wrong.
No one should dispose off another party asset except through the order of a court(superior court) that is, high court or its equivalent with a temporary forfeiture and final forfeiture order obtained by the relevant agency.
This applies to cow, car, house, jewellery and any other item of value. But this is Naija, we operate by law of the rulers, so every ruler determines the law to follow, if Na lie, ask the Terrorist in Chief

I was arrested for driving one way too and I was charged to court. I however chose to settle out of court and I paid 200k into government account. If I hadn't chosen that option I'd have been made to face the court and the court will surely rule against me because pictorial and video evidences are presented in court by the arresting officials.

FarahAideed:
Do they get a solidly contested forfeiture order from the courts before selling? Or they sell under the auspice of executive order ?

They get orders from court and you may appeal the judgements if you so wish.

You must be joking with your because you are not successful. You sure don't know who you are talking to.

Nothing special.

Nice one but I hope that the Traffic Advisory Boards that will be placed at Ikeja Under-Bridge area, Simbiat Abiola Way and Adebola/Balogun junctions to serve as a guide will not turn around to extort money from motorists

Yea. On my first job as a medical sales rep, my salary was 11k but what I used to rake home in a month legitimately from my commission alone was much. My salary was never touched till I left the company. That was where I raised my foreign education fees.

Unemployment isn't really the issue bedeveling our youths today but greed. You wey wan do 300k job, na which one your family don create? My friend took a security job at MTN for 15k monthly and right on the job, he got a much better offer elsewhere through a customer. He later got a scholarship to study in the UK for both Msc and PhD. He's a big boy today doing his things. There are hidden opportunities in those small salary jobs you're avoiding.

God bless you.

Long overdue.

2 Poultry Chicken and Turkey are white meat, clean, sweet and highly nutritious. What's more? Their eggs are readily available and rich in protein.
3 PORK Another alternative for non- Muslim.
