The Lagos Chapter of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists on Thursday ignored the National Industrial Court’s ruling that restrained the Nigeria Union of Journalists and four others from conducting election following an application by a contestant.
Joined as first to sixth defendants in the suit marked NICN/LA/248/2019, are: Ekene Adeola, the Registered Trustees of the NUJ, Ifeyinwa Omole, Ladi Lawal, Mrs Abiola Beckley and Mrs Yemisi Adeniran. Some women from the Lagos State Ministry of Information also joined the security agencies to prevent the bailiff from entry.In the process, the women rough-handled the bailiff and some journalists, who appealed to them to let the man do his job.The interim injunction restrained the respondents from recognising first defendant Adeola as chairperson candidate in the election. It also restrained the body responsible for the conduct of the election from going ahead with it.
She stated that “Regarding the forthcoming election to the office of the Chairperson, the electoral committee duly screened three candidates: the 1st defendant, one Patience Eloh Okoh and myself, after which the committee determined that I am the only candidate eligible to contest for the post of chairperson having met the requirement of the NUJ constitution.
