The nine-man panel returned the control of the tollgate to the Lekki Concession Company, on Saturday, February 6.
The company had been pleading to the panel to take over the plaza for repair and insurance claims since December 2020. Their pleas were denied by the panel, saying it was expecting reports from forensic experts over the examination of the toll gate with respect of the October 20 shooting incident.
