Nigerian Court Orders Pension Directorate, PTAD To Pay Octogenarian N17million Entitlements Withheld Since 2015 | Sahara Reporters
The presiding judge, Justice Oluwakayode Ojo Arowosegbe gave the order in a judgement in Suit No NICN/ABJ/104/2019 between Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate as claimant and Abednego Anyaegbuna Onuaguluchi as Defendant.
The defendant through his Counsel, Pius Ogwuche filed Amended Statement of Defence and Counter Claim upon which he sought the following reliefs: “The sum of N17,064,597.68 being his aggregate or total monthly pension arrears due to him from July 2015 to October 2019 at the rate of N328,165.34 per month which is unjustly withheld by the claimant.
Ruling on the suit, Justice Arowosegbe condemned the action of the claimant for unjustly withholding the monthly pensions of the Defendant and granted all the reliefs sought in the defendant’s counterclaims except that the litigation was reduced to N500,000. “It follows that the claimant-defendant to the CC loses issue 2, while the defendant-counter claimant takes the trophy. Having treated the two issues adopted by the Court in resolving this dispute and concluded that the defendant-counter claimant won in both, the case must therefore cruise to an end.”
