Mrs Sarah Akinya, a widow from Okota, Lagos, has filed a lawsuit against Airtel Networks Limited and ATC Nigeria Wireless Infrastructure Limited in the Lagos State High Court. The case, marked LD/970/2007, seeks N232m in damages for noise pollution, structural damage, and environmental harm caused by a telecommunications mast near her residence.
Akinya, who has lived in the property since 1995, claims that the installation, known as LAG 101 Base Station, began causing issues in 2004. The noise, vibrations, smoke, and fumes emitted from the facility have reportedly caused cracks in her walls and fence, as well as health concerns for her household. The lawsuit also alleges negligence in repairing a damaged perimeter fence and seeks an injunction to stop the operation of the facility or its relocation to a safer location.
