The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN),has implored its members to remain calm, resolute, steadfast and law-abiding as arrangement has been concluded to appeal the Judgment of the National Industrial Court in respect of the leadership of the Union.
Its scribe,Comrade Joshua Apebo,who conveyed this in a statement on Wednesday,emphasized that the ASCSN would ensure that justice was done on the matter.
He recalled that on Monday, 22nd February 2021, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) arrested and detained Bola-Audu Innocent for alleged case of human trafficking and exploitation of vulnerable persons.
According to him,the union later resolved that given the enormity of the case and to save the image of the Association and protect his job that Bola-Audu should step aside so that informal channels could be explored by the National Leadership of the Association with the authorities to give him soft landing.
He added:”Instead of abiding by this wise counsel, Bola-Audu elected to recruit thugs to be invading the headquarters of the Association in Lagos and the Annex office in Abuja and also dragged the Union to Court in violation of the Constitution of the Association.
“He also wrote letters to the banks of the union to put a lien on the bank accounts of the association to cripple its activities.Against the background of these anti-union activities, the association expelled Bola-Audu from the body in line with the union’s constitution”.
He revealed that the office of the Accountant-General of the Federation also barred him from entering the Treasury House, Abuja,while the Federal Civil Service Commission also suspended him from service but he later smuggled himself back to the Civil Service.
