Court set May 7, to hear suit to stop audit by Exxon Mobil vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
The claimant, who is the General Manager of the Public and Government Affairs Department of Mobil, is asking the court to suspend a “Special Review” Audit embarked on by Mobil, to probe the affairs of the P&GA, pending conclusion of a routine audit.
When the case was called before Justice A.N Ubaka on Monday, Mr Abayomi Osinbajo announced appearance for the claimant while Mr Charles Edosomwan appeared for Mobil.Claimant counsel then informed the court that the case was supposed to be for hearing of his application for interlocutory injunction, but informed the court that the claimant had already been issued a notice of retirement by defendant, even while the case was pending in court.
In response, defence counsel, argued that the question is whether the court could intervene and stop the ongoing internal audit of Mobil, adding that a company reserves the right to dismiss an employee. In the suit, claimant is seeking among other reliefs, that the mode of operation of the existing Audit Team, is in breach of the rules of natural Justice and an infringement on his fundamental rights as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution.
Claimant said that the audit which was billed to begin in July 2018, actually began in May 2018, and its end date which was slated for August 2018, continued into December 2018, even after the field’s exit meeting had been held in September 2018.
