The National Industry Court on Thursday issued an order permitting one of the senior officers illegally dismissed by the Nigerian Army, Abdulfatai Mohammed, to initiate committal proceedings against the Chief of Defence Staff,, following the general’s refusal to show evidence that he transmitted the affected officers’ appeals to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Following the army’s illegal action, 22 of the affected officers exploited this window and petitioned the president through the defence chief, Mr Olonisakin, via a July 2016 letter referenced CDS/6/1/A. Then, a ruling was given by Edith Agbakoba, industrial court judge, that the defence chief should send the appeal for administrative review to the President. and accordingly show proof to the court that he had made the transmission.“The CDS in their characteristic disregard for court orders and impunity failed to comply with the court order,” Mr Mohammed’s lawyer, Abdul Mohammed told PREMIUM TIMES.
