The National Industrial Court has ordered the Nigerian Army to reinstate another senior officer, Thomas Arigbe, after three such judgements since the military authorities illegally dismissed several officers in 2016.

The judge, Paul Bassi of the Lagos division of the industrial court, handed the judgement on Thursday.

Before Thursday’s judgement in Mr Arigbe’s case, the industrial court had previously asked the army to reinstate three other affected officers. Emphasizing “service exigencies” and that the “military must remain apolitical and professional at all times”, Sani Usman, spokesperson for the army then, released a statement, disclosing what could have constituted the “serious offences” which warranted the dismissal of the 38 officers.

While officers cleared by either arms procurement panel or election panel were retired, others who were not questioned at all were also sent away.
