The Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) has strongly condemned the invasion of its Abuja office allegedly by Bola-Audu Innocent, a former union leader, urging security agencies to take immediate action to rein him in and prevent further disruptions to union activities.
The office of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), Area 7 at the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja was on Wednesday, July 24, 2024 invaded.
ASCSN Secretary-General, Comrade Joshua Apebo said in a statement on Wednesday that the secretariat was invaded by Bola-Audu Innocent.
He stated that detachment of Police in Abuja was taking steps to clear the office of hoodlums.
The statement reads in part, “It will be recalled that on 9th July, 2024, the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN), Abuja while delivering judgment in Suit No. NICN/ABJ/214/2022 held that Bola-Audu should complete his tenure by 29th July, 2024 having been elected as the National President of the Union on 29th July, 2020.
“Following this development, the Union filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal, Abuja in Suit No. CA/ABJ/CV/780/2024.
“Now, instead of following due legal process and allow judgment to be delivered in the case at the Court of Appeal, Abuja, Bola-Audu has again elected to engage thugs to invade the Annex Offices of the Union in Abuja.
“This is unacceptable because Nigeria is not a jungle but a society governed by law,” the Union emphasised.
