As stated in the
case of Ikudayisi & ors v. Mrs. Oyingbo &
4 Ors. CA/AK/101/2011 (Supra) where the
Constitution gives a right and facts have
been proved which prima facie show an
infringement, it is for the person alleged
to have infringed that right to justify the
infringement and not for the person
whose right has been infringed to exclude
all circumstances of justification.

See
Agbakoba v. Director S. S. S. (1994) 6
NWLR (Pt. 351) 475 at 495.
