However, he said this was done without his consent as it was not in his powers to sign a note verbale.
A dismissed staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has alleged that Nigeria's former High Commissioner to Jamaica, Ambassador Janet Olisa connived with some top officials at the commission to falsely and unjustly dismiss him alongside another junior staff member.
“After a while, the other junior officer's tour of duty elapsed and she had to return to Nigeria, but she had her siblings there already, a brother, a sister, and her children. She was two steps above me. She was already working. ”They accredited him as a domestic help to the foreign ministry of Jamaica so that he could get a work permit to enable him to secure a US visa to come back to Nigeria because according to them, you cannot have a direct flight from Jamaica to Nigeria, you have to pass through US, Brazil or London, UK, so they were finding an easier route.
”Without the Ambassador authorising the note verbale, the whole process would not be possible. After the Ambassador had written a note verbale to the foreign ministry and they had given him the permit, they now applied again for a visa. They insisted that it was not wrong, so after everything, the guy was able to come back to Nigeria.
“I'm a victim here, I'm supposed to petition both of them but because she is an ambassador, she has the power, you can imagine that she, who is a facilitator in the conspiracy was part of the decision making at the meeting where we were dismissed and the rule states that before you dismiss an officer, you should call him to defend himself but this did not happen. I was given a query, responded to it, and two months later, I got a dismissal letter.
