The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN),has urged the security agencies to caution one Bola-Audu and his thugs against further attacks on its properties.
The development,the union said,was necessary to ensure that he desists forthwith from resorting to self-help and taking the laws into his hands.
The union said Bola-Audu and his thugs invaded its office at Area 7 at the Federal Capital Territory, in Abuja on Wednesday.
In a press statement issued in Lagos the ASCSN Secretary-General,Comrade Joshua Apebo, stated that a detachment of Police in Abuja was taking steps to clear the office of hoodlums.
It will be recalled that on 9th July, 2024, the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN), Abuja while delivering judgment in Suit No.NICN/ABJ/214/2022
held that Bola-Audu should complete his tenure by 29th July, 2024 having been elected as the National President of the Union on 29th July, 2020.
Following this development, the Union filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal, Abuja in Suit No. CA/ABJ/CV/780/2024.
“Now, instead of following due legal process and allow judgment to be
delivered in the case at the Court of Appeal, Abuja, Bola-Audu has again elected to engage thugs to invade the Annex offices of the union in Abuja.
“This is unacceptable because Nigeria is not a jungle but a society governed by law,” the union emphasized in the statement.
On Monday, 22nd February 2021, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) arrested and detained BolaAudu Innocent for alleged case of human trafficking and exploitation of vulnerable persons.
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.
Instead of abiding by this wise counsel, Bola-Audu elected to recruit thugs and on 7th May, 2021 invaded the ASCSN Annex office in Abuja as well as the headquarters of the Union on 5th August, 2022 and again on 22nd August, 2022,the statement said.
