The National Industrial Court in Abuja has ordered the
Nigerian Army Council to immediately reinstate Brigadier General Abubakar
Hanafi Sa’ad five years after he was thrown out of service.
The court voided the letter of compulsory retirement issued
to the Army General in June 2016 and set it aside for violating the provisions
of the Nigerian Armed Forces Act.
President of the court, Justice Benedict Kanyip, in a
judgment on Tuesday in a suit instituted by Brigadier General Sa’ad, held that
the Nigerian Army acted against the law by throwing the plaintiff out of
service without following due process of the law.
The allegation of serious offence levelled against the
Brigadier General during the trial of the suit was rejected by Justice Kanyip
on the ground that such was not contained in the purported letter of compulsory
retirement.
