A former member of staff of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency , Mr Williams Olanrewaju, has dragged the anti-drug agency and four others before the National Industrial Court of Nigeria , Abuja, over his alleged unlawful dismissal from office.
The claimant disclosed that he joined the agency in 2011 and rose to the level of Chief Narcotic Agent , adding that were it not for alleged victimisation, he would have been promoted to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Narcotic before his summary dismissal from office. In a 77-paragraph statement on oath, the claimant traced his ordeal to the SET/SIU Lekki office, Lagos, where he had issues with his senior officers over “their corrupt activities”.
He explained that on September 24, 2019, he and other officers of the SET/SIU collected 3 kilogrammes of heroin from one drug courier at Farm City Lounge, Lekki, close to SIU office in Lekki but, he was later told “not to write anything in the report because the 3kg of heroin would be kept for evidence in future arrest”.
Among the reliefs he sought include a declaration that his two orderly room trials that led to his punishment and subsequent dismissal were illegal, unconstitutional, null and void.
unfortunately most media houses are owned by private individuals who are either invested in politics or are seeking political favors. What a shame. ndlea_nigeria respond to this and make sure this case is open to the public for the security of this man
It is rather unfortunate that this will be the last we hear of this story, These are very serious allegations that should be followed up tightly by the media.
