Five staff of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) have sued the apex bank before the National Industrial Court sitting in Abuja to challenge what they described as unlawful termination of their appointments.
The plaintiffs, Joseph G. Omayuku, Elizabeth A. Kwaghe, Maureen O. Chukwurah, Abdulmumin A.Isa and Paulinus C. Eze, through their counsel, in suit number NIC/ABJ/-155/2024 prayed the court for an order restraining the bank from advertising vacancies for their positions.
The plaintiffs, through Isa Mohammed and Associates, prayed the court for an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the defendants/respondents whether by itself, its agents, servants and/or privies or anybody acting on its behalf or receiving directives from it from filling the vacancy of whatever kind to the director cadre, or taking any step whatsoever to so recruit, arising from the unlawful termination of the claimant’s appointment or doing anything thereon which Is prejudicial to the suit.
They told the court that they were the employees of the CBN and were unlawfully sacked without valid reasons.
