A former employee of Intercontinental Bank PLC, now Eco Bank, Mr Abubakar Abudulahi, on Monday dragged the bank before the National Industrial Court over termination of appointment.
The counsel to the claimant, Mr Nasiru Saidu, prayed the court to declare the sack illegal, wrongful, null and void, and to reinstate and pay Abubakar all his entitlements from 2009 till date.
Saidu said the claimant was appointed clearing officer in 2005, but was suspended in June 2009 over an ATM imbalance.
He said the claimant was on suspension for one year and eight months without pay before he was recalled in 2011.
The counsel said that two months after Abubakar’s recall, he was again suspended over “an ATM cash pilferage’’.
Saidu alleged that his client was suspended without fair hearing.
The presiding judge, Justice Maureen Esowe, adjourned the case to Oct. 28 for hearing. (NAN)*
