Na wah o! National Industrial Court for Owerri don drop correct gbola for one former banker, Mr Collins Godspower. Dem don award am N50 million as compensation for the wahala wey him former bank cause am. You fit call am ‘wrongful blacklisting’, as na wetin court talk say na serious matter na!
Judge Nelson Ogbuanya na im dey preside the case, and him no gree face any nonsense. He set aside the ban wey Central Bank of Nigeria put on Godspower after him former employer yan say na for fraud and dishonesty him dey dismissed. E clear say na wahala no suppose follow dem carry that guy name go CBN like say him be notorious criminal. Na so as court clear am, him face don shine again!
Godspower yarn say him waka from the bank as dem declare “services no longer required” after plenty drama wey involve him don dey suspended and later call back. He eyes don open when him find out say the only reason wey him never fit land another banking job na because dem don publish him picture plus name for bank portal. Dem don send am go CBN as fraudster, wetin no ginger correct vibes!
Na wetin dem bank talk? Dem admit say yes, dem publish Godspower details and carry am go CBN, but dem claim say na for regulatory compliance. E mean say dem dey hide under the law to scatter person life. But Justice Ogbuanya no wan hear that one, as him talk say court fit handle cases wey relate to employment wahala and workplace defamation.
As court dey look the records, dem discover say when dem recall Godspower from suspension, na so dem clear am be that. So, why dem go find am guilty without any proof? Na wah o! Judge Ogbuanya vex say na the bank dey confuse CBN, claiming Godspower na fraudster when in fact dem don terminate his employment for matter wey no concern fraud. Na so him talk say the reason for the termination letter no correlate with the criminal label wey dem give am.
Justice Ogbuanya also add say the N50 million wey dem give Godspower na true reflection of how dem don scatter im career and turn am to jobless person wey dey waka around dejected. Na so he order say make dem set aside all those wrongful publications wey dem don spread everywhere, say make no one ever use am to drag Godspower name again!
The case don bring plenty gist on how banks fit treat people anyhow, but justice don shine light for this one. Make dem learn lesson from dis wahala and treat people with respect for workplace matter.
