CBN Wahala Burst! 62 Sacked Workers Tell Court: Dismiss Bank’s Motion, Restore Our Jobs
Wahala don enter court as 62 former staff of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) have asked the National Industrial Court in Abuja to throw out the bank’s application seeking to change the procedure of their suit challenging their sack. The ex-workers opposed a motion by CBN’s lawyer, Wilson Inam, SAN, who asked the court to convert their originating summons to a writ of summons, arguing that the case involved disputed facts requiring oral evidence. But the claimants’ counsel, Ola Olanipekun, SAN, insisted that the bank had not filed a counter affidavit, making its request legally defective. He told the court that until pleadings are completed, the matter cannot be converted, adding that only the workers’ processes were properly before the court. The workers are seeking to nullify their termination letters issued under a “Re-Organisation” exercise in 2024, describing the sack as unlawful and contrary to the CBN Act and internal policies. They also want reinstatement and full payment of salaries and entitlements. Justice Osatohanmwen Obaseki-Osaghae adjourned the case to February 10 for ruling.
