Breaking News
FCT Administration Unseals Jabi Lake Mall
Juliet Uduji

For Abuja shoppers, it’s good news as Jabi Lake mall shut down 10 days ago after hosting the musical concert involving Lagos Based Musician, Naira Marley has been reopened.
The FCT Administration had earlier ordered its management to publish an unreserved apology to government in national dailies, for hosting the Lagos-based controversial artist in concert.

The mall was shut down last week by an order of the Magistrate Court for organising a drive-in-concert which attracted crowd within the premises, against the social distancing rules and the extant 8pm-6am curfew.

Three staff of the mall who were arraigned before the magistrate that sat as a mobile court at Jabi, were accused of organising a concert that violated the COVID-19 health safety guidelines and other protocols approved by the Presidential Task Force. (PTF)

Magistrate Idayat Akanni who ordered that the mall should immediately be re-opened, stated that she had perused the application filed by the defence counsel Mr. Nnamdi Ekweme, praying the court to unseal the business premises.

Akanni noted that her judgement was based on the overall interest of those who will be affected adversely, should the mall remain closed.

She also stated that the shopping centre has over 100 employees and other tenants who are not co-offenders in the matter, and may have their fundamental human rights infringed on.

According to her, the order was also based on compassion, especially, in consideration of the economic losses that would be suffered by those affected, coupled with the impact of COVID-19 on the people.

Chairman of FCT Ministerial TaskForce on COVID -19, Ikharo Attah, said FCTA has no objections to the rulings of the court, because the administration wants to remain a model in obeying the rule of law.

Attah noted that FCT Minister, Mallam Muhammad Bello, has demonstrated a strong will to respect the laws while striving for good governance.

He also said that nobody can violate the laws and go unpunished in FCT.

He also added that the management of the mall was expected to comply with the order of the court on publishing an apology to government on national dailies, as soon as possible.

Attah said, “In the wisdom of the court, it has decided to re-open the mall after 10 days, and also asking that the Management to publish an apology to government on national dailies, we expect it as quick as possible.

“We have shown the world that government works here, we have also shown that the rule of law is respected here. We abide by the order, since the court’s judgment is based on compassion and the economic losses already recorded,” he added.
