"There is a long line of authorities on locus standi and the general principle is that for a person to have locus standi either to institute an action or to prosecute an appeal he has to show that he has special interest; that the interest is not vague, or intangible, supposed or speculative or that it is not an interest which he shares with other members of society. He also must show that such interest has been adversely affected by the act or omission which he seeks to challenge."

Prince Femi Agunsoye v. Prince Joseph Babalola Arojojoye & ors [2023] LPELR-60393(SC), per His Lordship Tijjani Abubakar, JSC.
