A dismissed Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Osondu Christian, has filed a committal proceeding before the National Industrial Court (NIC), against the Nigerian Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba, over his alleged disobedience to a lawful court order reinstating him. SaharaReporters reported in November that a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, sentenced IGP Baba to three months in prison for disobeying a valid court order.

December 5, 2022SaharaReporters reported in November that a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, sentenced IGP Baba to three months in prison for disobeying a valid court order.

“If at the end of the three months, the contemnor remains recalcitrant and still refuses to purge his contempt, he shall be committed for another period and until he purges his contempt," the court held. Meanwhile, Osondu through his counsel, Chikaosolu Ojukwu has filed Form 48 before the National Industrial Court sitting in Abuja for the police boss, Baba to explain why he should not be committed to prison.

SaharaReporters earlier reported that the National Industrial Court, Abuja Division, had ordered the Inspector-General of Police, Baba, to reinstate Osondu Christian, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, who was dismissed from the Force. The order said Osondu should be reinstated to his rank and paid all his entitlements with effect from March 2019.

“That the decision of the Police Service Commission as contained in its letter dated 22/07/2020 with Ref No.: PSC/1524/IV/5 reinstating the 1st respondent to his rank and entitlements in the Nigeria Police Force with effect from 26/03/2019 is valid, subsisting and binding on the Inspector General of Police.

The letter reads: “We continue to represent Osondu Christian and we have his instructions to write you in the terms set hereunder.
