Now the objection of the parties is not that the exhibit, itself being that both parties presented essentially the same document, was not the conditions of service that bound the claimant to the defendant rather their respective grouse was with regard to the manner or mode in which each party tendered the same document. The defendants objected to the claimants tendering their Exhibit C8 because the said document was not certified, and incomplete. The claimant’s response was that they had given to the defendants notice to produce the document and they having failed to do so they were at liberty to tender the copy they had. While the claimant objected to the defendants exhibit D6 because they contended that having given the defendants notice to produce the document and their failing or refusal to produce same the defendants were estopped or precluded from tendering the document subsequently. It is worthy to note that neither party cited any authority in support of their objection.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The position of the law is in consonance with some aspects of each party’s argument. “A person on whom notice to produce is served to produce documents is not obligated to tender the document named in the notice, having satisfied that the opponent had failed to produce the document, can tender secondary evidence of the document,…per Thomas JCA <b><span style="color:red">YUSUK Vs.

What this means is that the defendants can suspend the claimant for three months on half pay and if after the review it is necessary to continue the suspension shall be continued for a further three months. ;- a period of six month after which the regulation envisages that the claimants case would have been determined.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The case of the claimant is that he was placed on suspension for over 27 months then he was served with a letter of dismissal.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The learned author, EM Rao, in the book<b><u>, Industrial Jurisprudence: A Critical Commentary (LexisNexis Butterworths: New Delhi, India), 2008</u></b> variously discussed the ambit of the law relating to suspension. For instance, the learned author first acknowledged the right of the employer to suspend; and then at page 116, relying on <b><span style="color:red;mso-bidi-font-style:italic">HOTEL IMPERIAL V. HOTEL WORKERS’ UNION [1995] I LLJ 544 (SC), </span></b>the learned author asserts that in the regulation of an employment relationship, the power to suspend an employee is not an implied term in an ordinary contract between an employer and an employee. The Supreme Court in <b><span style="color:red;mso-bidi-font-style: italic">LONGE V. FIRST BANK OF NIGERIA PLC (SUPRA)</span></b> acknowledged this much too. Such a power can only be the creation of either a statute governing the contract or of an express term in the contract itself; and, in the absence of it, the employer would have no power to suspend an employee and, if he does, he will have to pay wages during the so-called period of suspension. To the learned author at page 178, relying on <b><span style="color:red;mso-bidi-font-style: italic">KHEM CHAND V. UNION OF INDIA [1963] I LLJ 665 (SC),</span></b><span style="color:red"> </span>suspension either pending enquiry or as a punishment is not termination. See also <b><span style="color:red;mso-bidi-font-style: italic">LONGE V. FIRST BANK OF NIGERIA PLC (SUPRA).</span></b><span style="color:red"> </span>The learned author then concludes the discourse that the power of suspension is not an unfettered power; the power has to be exercised sparingly, reasonably and on good grounds. The Nigerian case of <b><span style="color:red;mso-bidi-font-style:italic">UDEMAH V. NIG.

The case went on that in doing that, the employer must comply with any existing regulation governing such action.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">I am also aware of the pronouncement of Agbo JCA in <b><span style="color:red">EZE VS, UNIVERSITY OF JOS [2010] LPELR 20072 CA </span></b> that the period allowed in suspension “whether the initial three months or the additional three months if exceeded will not render the disciplinary procedure a nullity” relying on <b><span style="color:red">BAMIBOYE Vs. UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN [1990] 10 NWLR (Pt. 622) at 290</span></b>. But in that case the suspension lasted 5 months and that in the instant case there is in fact evidence to the contrary, for not only did the suspension last for 27 months but in this Court, in the case of <b><span style="color:red;mso-bidi-font-style:italic">MRS. DAYO BULORO V. NIGERIAN INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC RELATIONS UNREPORTED SUIT NO. NIC/LA/23/2009 </span></b>the judgment of which was delivered on April 14, 2011, it was held that “…an employee should not be kept under suspension indefinitely without initiating and concluding disciplinary proceedings against him as this puts him under undue hardship and makes it impossible for him to seek some other employment”. <i>A fortiori</i>, where an employer takes long (over two and half years in the instant case) discipline an employee, the employer must be read as condoning the act being queried. In the case of <b><span style="color:red;mso-bidi-font-style:italic">EKUNDA V. UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN [2000] 12 NWLR (PT. 681) 220 CA </span></b>held that if after the knowledge of fraud committed by an employee the employer elects to retain him in his services, the employer cannot at any subsequent time dismiss him on account of that which he has waived or condoned.

I) 151. </span></b> On the basis of these authorities, this Court has held that where an employer is lax in disciplining an employee, that would be read as condoning the act of the employee and so the employer would lack the right to dismiss him afterwards. The logic of this principle led this Court to hold that an employee cannot even be held for too long in suspension without his fate being decided one way or the other.

In fact none of the 5 allegations he refuted in the Senate Committee were from all indications presented to him before date of the Senate Committee hearing. This I find offends the rule of fair hearing. In fact Dr. Udoh from Exhibit D15 was asked questions and gave answers to question that alluded more to alteration of the examination results but not so the claimant and it is on this point I find that the procedure adopted by the defendant falls short to the equitable and constitutional requirement of fair hearing. The defendants took great stock in the fact that the claimant was invited to appear before the committee(s) however this mere appearance is not enough under the law. In <b><span style="color:red">U.B.A. PLC v. ORANUBA (2014) 2 NWLR (PT. 1390) 1 @ 5 C.A. </span></b>It was held that<b> </b>“the fact that a party appeared before a court or a panel does not ipso facto mean that he was given a fair hearing in a matter in which his conduct is called to question. He may have been heard, but there can be no fair hearing if a party did not know what his employer had against him. If the purpose of the hearing is to determine his guilt or the propriety vel non of his conduct, it is not enough that he is heard; the hearing must relate to his defence of the complaint against him. Being the person to be affected by the outcome of the hearing, there is need to afford him the opportunity not just to be heard, but to be heard in his defence of whatever allegation is made against him.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The court went on to say “an employee cannot be removed or dismissed for a specific misconduct in the absence of adequate opportunity afforded him to justify or explain same. Before an employer can dispense with the services of his employee, all he needs to do is to afford the employee the opportunity of being heard before exercising his power of summary dismissal, even where the allegation for which the employee is being dismissed involves accusation of crime”. <b><span style="color:red">[YUSUF v.

The law requires that a person is constitutionally entitled in this country to be made aware of the actual offences for which he is being called to question. This tenet of Natural justice I find and hold was totally absent, not observed at all in the procedure adopted by the defendants in this case. The action of the defendants of dismissing the claimant in the manner presented to this court is a breach of the right to fair hearing and unconstitutional hence null and void. Relief 2 succeeds.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Relief 5 is for an order of injunction restraining the Defendants from evicting the Claimant from his official quarters, pending the hearing and determination of this suit. Paragraph 3 of Exhibit C4 provides that the claimant on appointment would be entitled to accommodation thereby making the issue of accommodation part of his condition of service thereby giving this court jurisdiction over same, however apart from this paragraph the claimant made no further pleading and led no evidence with regard to this accommodation, the grant of an injunction is a discretionary equitable relief which courts may grant judiciously and judicially based on firm law and determinate facts. Yet in this case none have been put before the court. furthermore the claimant in the last line of averment 15 of Exhibit C2 the Reply to statement of defence stated that “the quarter I am occupying is now my personal property”. That being the case the relief of an injunction cannot be granted it this relief fails.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The law is that where a statutory employment is found to have been wrongfully dismissed or terminated and the wrongful dismissal is declared null and void as in this case it means that the dismissal never occurred and the claimant is to be placed in the position he was prior to the wrongful and illegal act of the defendants. See <b><span style="color:red;mso-bidi-font-style:italic">ALHASSAN V. ABU ZARIA [2010] ALL FWLR (PT. 538) 962 AT 975 </span></b>The case enjoins a presumption in favour of the claimant that his employment can only be brought to an end for proven misconduct or other specified reason. The reason adduced by the defendants for dismissing the claimant, which is that the claimant was liable for altering result not having been substantiated in this court, and as the claimant submitted neither the aggrieved student nor the altered scripts where tendered in this court, is untenable. The case of <b><span style="color:red;mso-bidi-font-style: italic">OKOCHA V.
