The National Industrial Court, Abuja on Wednesday, ordered DAAR Communications Plc to pay a former newscaster with the African Independent Television (AIT), Peter Kumba, his retirement benefits.

DAAR Communications Plc was also ordered to pay Kumba all his unpaid salaries and allowances and pension contributions.

The court in addition submitted that the statutory declaration of age tendered by the claimant to prove his age was admissible and therefore relevant as against the defendant’s contention that it was forged. ”The claimant is entitled to his full retirement benefits, outstanding salaries, unpaid allowances, pension contributions and therefore ordered that the claimant should be paid same by the defendant,” the judge held.

The claimant had through his counsel, Oladimeji Adebayo, sought for a declaration that his compulsory retirement was inconsistent with the provisions of the defendant’s Internal Control Policies and Procedures Manual, as signed and dated Nov. 2, 2011.
