Justice Rabi Gwandu of the National Industrial Court in Lagos yesterday reserved for judgement the suit filed by the Association of Senior Staff of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions , and nine others against Trade Union Congress over its 12th triennial delegates’ conference.
At the recommencement of the matter yesterday, the claimants’ counsel, Timothy Adewale, moved a pending motion filed against the defendants over disobedience of the order made by the court, while he also asked the court to commit the TUC president and secretary-general to prison for their alleged disobedience to court order, which restrained TUC from holding its 12th triennial delegates’ conference pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit before the court.
Justice Gwandu, thereafter, informed the lawyers that the date for the judgement would be communicated to all the parties at a later date. The claimants also asked for an order mandating and compelling the defendant to immediately enable the first claimant to produce and assume the office of the president of the defendant, in line with the agreement and resolutions reached and ratified at the 11th triennial delegates’ conference in Abuja.
