The NIC in Abuja again on Friday refused an oral application by the NBET for a stay of proceedings in a motion brought against it by a whistleblower

Mr Abdullahi is a worker with NBET. He and another whistleblower, Waziri Bintube, had exposed several alleged fraudulent acts by NBET’s Managing Director, Marilyn Amobi. The industrial court at its previous hearing ruled against the request on further actions by Mr Abdullahi. It asked that parties maintain the status quo pending the determination of the substantive suit.

In a reaction to the application, Mr Abdullahi’s lawyer, Adam Oloro-age, argued that the rules of the NIC provide that “anybody applying for a stay of proceedings must come by way of writing to the court.” The NBET counsel had also approached the appeal court seeking relief for Justice Damulak to recuse himself from the case.
