Justice Ministry criticized by the NLC for its “black market” court order.
Emmanuel Ugboaja, the Secretary-General of the Nigeria Labour Congress, chastised Jeddy Agba, the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Justice, on Wednesday afternoon for allegedly obtaining a “black market” court order to prevent the labor center from holding a nonviolent demonstration.
Speaking to demonstrators in the National Assembly, Ugboaja said that the Ministry of Justice had decided to give Agba a break so that she may “get a rejuvenation” and better comprehend the “law.”
The PUNCH had detailed the verbal sparring that Agba, the NLC, and their legal representative, Femi Falana, SAN, had instigated in several media segments subsequent to Agba’s obtaining of a court order.
In a number of press releases, Agba stated that the NLC would be in contempt of court if they disregarded the court order that her ministry had acquired. However, Falana said that the ban did not stop the labor center from starting a nonviolent protest on behalf of his customers, the NLC.
The NLC has continued to taunt Agba describing her court order as a “black market” order.
“Her advice became that of Ahitophel in the Bible…
“So comrades we are expecting in a short while that the leadership of the National Assembly will come and see genuine Nigerians with a new credential,” Ugboaja said.
