In a dramatic turn of events, the National Industrial Court has halted the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) election, scheduled for today, due to alleged irregularities.
The court’s decision comes after a petition filed by Fadeyi Babajide and Saka Laaro, accusing top union officials of manipulating the voter list for the Kwara NUJ election
The court has summoned several high-ranking officials, including the National President, Chris Isiguzo, and the Secretary, Achike Chude, to appear before it.
The claimants alleged that the election process has been marred by fraud and malpractices, and seek a declaration that the National Secretary cannot unilaterally alter the list of delegates.
In a related development, a mild drama unfolded at the Union gate, where a bailiff was denied access to serve the court process.
Meanwhile, an acting Chairman was ordered to delete a video recording of an altercation between two electoral officials.
The court’s decision has thrown the NUJ election into disarray, with the claimants seeking a nullification of the entire process.
The drama is far from over, as the union officials face a legal showdown over the alleged voter manipulation ahead of the Kwara NUJ election.
