defendants through the AGF’s chambers at Marina, Lagos.
Ugwummadu is asking the court to reverse the decision of the minister banning motorists from using tinted windows
The lawyer claimed in the originating summon that the minister’s exemption of some government officials from the rule violates the principle of equality as enshrined in the constitution.
