Case against Labor Leader sponsored-Comrade Emelieze

 

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has been berated for hurriedly charging a case against the embattled President of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) to court.

According to a former chairman of the Oyo state council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC), Comrade Andrew Emelieze, ''As concerned members of the union, we are surprised to hear of the charges (CR/738/2023) brought against Comrade Bola Innocent Audu in court by your agency. Sir, the issues in question are foremost, matters of industrial relations which, ordinarily, are supposed to be handled by the National Industrial Court. Moreso, the national Industrial Court is already handling issues of the crisis rocking the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN). Sir, we believe that these charges against Comrade Bola are sponsored. ICPC is called upon to assert its independence and ensure that they are not dragged into the mud by people of questionable character, Comrade Emelieze stated.
