A deputy director of the Corporate Affairs Commission, Moses Adagusu, has dragged the Registrar General, Garba Abubakar to court for stopping his salary and allowances for six to seven months.
The National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Abuja, ruled in favour of Adagusu, charging the CAC to pay the deputy director all his entitlement which is about N14million.

The counsel to Adagusu, Barrister Tailumun Azuwan, while speaking with the press after the judgement, said “God has today vindicated the claimant. We are very grateful for what the court has done. We thank the almighty God for keeping us alive to see victory today.”

He condemned the RG’s action for being high-handed and for being too harsh with the authority entrusted to him.

“The benefits accruing to the claimant in the judgment is much. First we settled for declaratory release which the court granted, setting aside the illegal suspension of the claimant for being crass violation of his right. Aside that, the court also directed that all his benefits and entitlements should be paid to him while he was on suspension, which is about N14million.

“The two million naira mentioned by the Judge is for filing of action in the court. The claimant is a successful person as far as litigation of this matter is concern and the court deemed it fit that he should be paid for filing this matter in court by the Registrar General.

Counsel to the Registrar General, Francis Ogbu, refused to accept the judgement of the industrial court, stating that they would meet at the Appeal Court.
