A former employee of John Holt PLC, Mr Echezona Nzeribe, has taken
the company before the National Industrial Court, Abuja, alleging
unlawful dismissal.
Nzeribe, who was an area manager of the
company, told the court that he had worked with the company for 15 years
before his dismissal.
He told the court that he was suspended in
June 2012 by the defendant over alleged sale of the company’s generator
valued at N2 million by the sales manager.
The claimant further explained that the sales manager failed to remit the money to the company’s account.
Nzeribe
alleged that the defendant suspended him without given him the
opportunity to defend himself contrary to the provision of the company’s
staff manual.
The claimant is praying the court to declare that the dismissal was unlawful, null and void and of no effect.
He
is also praying the court to order the defendant to reinstate him and
pay all his salaries and other entitlements from June 2012 till date.
The Presiding Judge, Justice Peter Lifu, fixed Dec. 5 for hearing, and ordered that all court paper be served on the defendants.
