ABSTRACT

Abstract

This paper examines provocative telecommunication mast installation and remedies available to victims under civil law in Nigeria. Using doctrinal research method, the paper raises issues of the constituent of this nuisance act and what the court will consider in awarding damages thereto. The paper also highlights the fact that the Nigerian court’s experience on this crime under tort is on the low ebb because majority of the cases end up being settle out of court or through Alternative Dispute Resolution without standard reporting form thus not helping the development of case law in Nigeria. To check this shortcoming, the paper recommends for the creation of a special court that will be handling cases of provocative telecommunication mast installation in Nigeria.
