“Judicial parameters of locus standi had been set in the case of Abacha & Anor Vs Ag Federation & Ors. (2013) LPELR-21479 where the Court pronounced on the Nature of locus standi citing the case of Nyame Vs Federal Republic Of Nigeria (2010) 42 NSCQR 54 and held that:

"The term locus standi entails the legal capacity of instituting, initiating or Commencement of an action in a competent Court of Law or tribunal without any inhibition, obstruction or hindrance from anybody or person Whatsoever including the provision of any existing law.

The fundamental aspect of locus standi is that it focuses on the party seeking to get its complaint heard before the Court.

It is settled law that the Plaintiff will have locus standi in a matter only if he has a special right or alternatively if he can show that he has sufficient or special interest in the performance of the duty sought to be enforced or where the interest is adversely affected"
