The hearing of the lawsuit by a staff of the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation Ltd. , Godspower Ntaka, against the company held at the National Industrial Court on Wednesday.
The lawyer, therefore requested the court for a date to allow parties to come back either for a report of settlement or definite hearing. The CCECC staff in the suit is seeking N100 million as damages which according to him, is for the alleged emotional trauma, psychological anxiety, mental stress and discriminatory treatment that arose from his ordeal in the hands of the armed robbers while on the official duty.
Mr Ntaka said after reporting, the police took him and Mr Amadi to the Special Anti-robbery Squad where he was detained from August 29 to October 11, 2012.The CCECC official said that it took the services of a private lawyer who filed for the enforcement of his fundamental right at a Federal Capital Territory High Court before he was released from SARS.
He further said during that period, the company stopped his salary while in prison custody and took no steps either to defend him or offer any help.
But that's unfair of the CCECC, since he's not convicted they wouldn't have stopped his salary
