Judges' welfare: Ibadan lawyer threatens Osun Govt with legal action

Adebayo in a notice signed by him and dated September 21, 2023 and obtained by DAILY POST gave the state government till September 30, 2023, to liquidate all the arrears or legal action would be commenced.

“TAKE further notice that, I will also claim interest and aggravated damages in respect of those unpaid allowances because the acts of the Government of Osun State in refusing to pay same over the years amount to sheer callousness, recklessness, disregard for rule of law, indecent and unfair. “As much as we will not wish to attribute the threat of legal action to politicization of service matters, we must remind the public that the lawyer expressly affirmed that the allowances were owed by Aregbesola/Oyetola administration. We can add for him that the Adeleke administration inherited from the two previous governments of the All Progressives Congress a whopping salary, pension and employment related debt to the tune of 100 billion naira.
