Compulsory retirement: Colonel Suleman floors Nigerian Army in court
In a judgment in Abuja on Wednesday, the court ordered the Nigerian Army Council to immediately reinstate Colonel Suleman to the position he was in 2016 when the purported compulsory retirement was done.
Justice Kado rejected the claim that the Army Officer was compulsorily retired from the Army on account of overstay, adding that there was no evidence to the falsehood adduced to justify the unlawful act of the army. The court rejected the evidence giving by the only witness of the army council, David Igodalo to the effect that the colonel was compulsorily retired because he overstayed beyond the eighteen years he ought to have stayed in the Army and thus allegedly breach Section 30 of the Nigerian Army Council Act.
Justice Kado further held that the claim of the Colonel that he had served for 25 years and nine months diligently and received accolades nationally and internationally was not disputed by the Nigerian Army and therefore there was no lawful reason to justify the allegation of serious offence in the purported letter of compulsory retirement.
