THE National Industrial Court in Abuja on Tuesday, restrained the authorities of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and its Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Abdullahi Mustapha, from evicting one of its lecturers, Dr. Muazu Maiwada, from its official quarters.<\/span><\/p>\n

The President of NIC, Justice Babatunde Adejumo, also held that the restraining order would be in place pending the determination of the substantive suit by Maiwada, challenging the termination of his appointment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before the termination of his appointment on March 1, Maiwada was a lecturer in the Department of English and Literature and was said to have spent over 20 years in ABU.<\/span><\/p>\n

The plaintiff had approached the NIC, seeking an interlocutory injunction restrain the ABU and its vice-chancellor from ejecting him from his official residence.<\/span><\/p>\n

The lecturer was issued an eviction notice on March 9, the same day he was sacked, asking him to vacate the quarters on or before April 6.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the suit filed by his lawyer, Mrs. B O Awomolo, the plaintiff alleged that the refusal to grant his prayers would lead to real hardship and irreparable damage.<\/span><\/p>\n

The plaintiff had claimed that, \u201cOn March 2, 2011, some junior officials of the university came to my house and informed me that they had been instructed by the vice-chancellor to start renovation work in the house; they left only after much persuasion and ever since, myself and my family have been living in constant fear of ejection.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to him, the university has never accused him of any gross misconduct or inability to carry out the duties of his office and have never invited him to defend himself against any allegation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Granting the plaintiffs reliefs, Justice Adejumo restrained the defendants and their agents from evicting or taking any action adverse to the possession and occupation of Maiwada\u2019s official quarters.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said, \u201cI have gone through the motion exparte and I have heard the argument of counsel, I am satisfied that if the orders sought are not granted, there will be eminent threat that the applicant and his family are ejected.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
