拉各斯寻求最高法院对联邦赌博法案提起诉讼,称该法案违宪。 Lagos seeks Supreme Court action over federal gaming bill, calling it unconstitutional.

拉各斯州要求尼日利亚最高法院允许就《中央赌博法案》对国民议会提起藐视法庭诉讼,认为这违反了2024年11月的一项裁决,该裁决宣布联邦彩票和赌博法违宪。 Lagos State has asked Nigeria’s Supreme Court to allow contempt proceedings against the National Assembly over the Central Gaming Bill, arguing it violates a November 2024 ruling that declared federal lottery and gaming laws unconstitutional. 拉各斯认为,该法案的规定反映了无效的《国家彩票法》,不适当地扩大了联邦对根据1999年《宪法》保留给各州事务的权力。 Lagos contends the bill’s provisions mirror the invalidated National Lottery Act and improperly extend federal authority over matters reserved to states under the 1999 Constitution. 该州于2008年开始采取法律行动,要求发出48号表格通知,以强制执行法院的裁决,警告如果不予理睬,可能会被监禁。 The state, which initiated legal action in 2008, seeks a Form 48 notice to enforce the court’s decision, warning of potential imprisonment if ignored. 国民议会两院仍在审议这项法案。 The bill remains under consideration in both houses of the National Assembly.
