The National Industrial Court in Abuja has been requested by a lawyer acting on behalf of Colonel Danladi Ribah Hassan to commit three high-ranking officials of the federal government to prison for contempt of court following their refusal to reinstate Colonel Hassan into the Nigerian Army as ordered by the court and affirmed in a final decision of Court of Appeal.
Colonel Hassan is one of those senior officers referred to in the press as the ‘Army 38’. The 38 officers were forced out of service in 2016 by the then Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai .Buratai was Chief of Army Staff for the first six years of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, and he was accused of various acts of abuse of office, including the sack of the Army 38 without factual or legal basis.
The Senate heard a petition by one of the Army 38 officers, Colonel Chidi Ukoha, and determined that his removal from the Nigerian Army was unjust. In the case of Colonel Hassan, the Nigerian Army appealed against the decision of the National Industrial Court but lost at the appeal. The appeal of the Army in case number CA/ABJ/299/2019 was delivered on December 31, 2021.
