The National Industrial Court on Monday ordered the Police Service Commission, to pay retired Assistant Inspector General of Police, Joseph Mbu,
The payment as ordered by Justice Osatohanmwen Obaseki-Osaghae, was for the unlawful retirement of Mbu before he attained the mandatory age of 60 years.
The court in addition set aside the purported retirement and declared that the claimant remained an officer of the Nigeria Police Force until he attained the mandatory retirement age of 60 on May 10, 2018. The judge while delivering the judgment ordered that the sum of N750,000 be paid to the claimant as the cost of the suit, stating that failure of the defendant to comply with the orders of the court within 30 days will attract a 10 percent interest per annum.
This, the court explained cannot be sustained as the claimant had reached the mandatory retirement age on May 10, 2018, when the suit was pending.
