The Applicant alleged that by a letter and memoranda dated 14th April,
2017, 4th May, 2017 and 23rd May, 2017 respectively, he wrote to the Board
of Directors of the Respondent protesting of the fraudulent acts and
irregularities that marred the recruitment exercise. That the Respondent in
response expressed its satisfaction with the way and manner the said
recruitment exercise was conducted. The Applicant avers that in a bid to
seek amicable redress in respect of the said recruitment exercise and
injustice meted on him, he requested the Respondent to invoke a mediation
mechanism for the settlement in accordance with Article 76 and 77 of its
staff rules and regulations. That rather than addressing the Applicant’s
complaints, the Respondent summarily and capriciously terminated his
appointment without due process and without affording him any opportunity
to defend himself.
That the said termination of the Applicant’s appointment is an oppressive
retaliation from the management of the Respondent against him for
exposing the fraudulent activities during the recruitment exercise.
That the Respondent having received the letters from his solicitors, is yet to
redress his complaint and reinstate him.
The Applicant therefore claims the following reliefs:
1. A DECLARATION that the Respondent acted arbitrarily, capriciously
and in breach of the Applicant’s right to fair hearing when the
Respondent terminated the Applicant’s appointment with the
Respondent in May, 2017 without having given the Applicant notice of
allegations of any wrong doing and the opportunity of defending
himself before the Applicant’s appointment was terminated.
