The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has said any verdict of the Industrial Court that forces lecturers back to school will have a negative impact.

The President of ASUU, Emmanuel Osadeko, while meeting with the leadership of the House of Representatives on Tuesday, said if lecturers are forced to school, what kind of education are they expecting students to get?

It would be recalled that the federal government dragged ASUU to the National Industrial Court over the seven months ASUU strike.

Justice Polycarp Hamman had on Monday adjourned the case after listening to the arguments of the counsel on behalf of the parties. The court is expected to reconvene on Wednesday.

Speaking before the closed-door session, Mr. Osadeko said forcing lecturers back to school is like forcing doctors to treat patients.

“If the court forces the lecturers to go to work tomorrow, which type of teaching will they do? If the court forces the Nigerian academics — say go and teach against your will — just like the court forcing a doctor to go and treat a patient against your will, how many of us will go and meet that doctor.”

Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila had stated that the meeting must produce a resolution that will end the strike.

An Appeal Court has dismissed the N20 billion damages claim by self-styled Yoruba Nation activist, Sunday Igboho against the Department of State Security (DSS).

Recall a judgement was made after the attack on the home of Yoruba nation agitator Chief Sunday Adeyemo, also known as Sunday Igboho, where N20bn damages claim was awarded. However, the judgement was was overturned on Tuesday by the Ibadan Division of the Court of Appeal.

In his ruling, Justice Muslim Hassan stated that the Oyo State High Court lacked jurisdiction over the case and that the judge shouldn’t have determined the appropriate amount of damages based on his own preference.

A 23-year-old mother said to be a call girl, Mary Olatayo, had sold her three-week-old baby for N600,000, the Ogun State Police Command has said.

Olatayo was arrested by the police on August 18, following a complaint from the father of the baby, at Mowe Divisional Police Headquarters, Ogun State.

The father of the baby had told the police that he had a relationship with her, which led to pregnancy and the baby in question.

The man disclosed that when Mary got pregnant, he rented an apartment for her where she lived till she gave birth to a baby boy.

According to him, Olatayo suddenly disappeared with the baby from the rented apartment three weeks after delivery.

She was said to have relocated to a hotel, where she had gone for a ‘hook up’ with another man.

“All efforts to know where the baby is proved futile,” Ogun police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, quoted the man as saying.

Oyeyemi informed that the DPO of Mowe Division, SP Folake Afeniforo, acting on the report, detailed detectives to the scene, and the suspect was arrested.

While being interrogated, Oyeyemi said Olatayo “confessed to the police that she has sold the baby to someone in Anambra State at the rate of six hundred thousand Naira. She confessed that it was her friend, Chioma Esther Ogbonna, who led her to the buyer in the state and that they both shared the money equally.”

Her confession, ODUDUWA NEWS learnt, led to the arrest of Chioma, who Oyeyemi said also corroborated Mary’s claims.

Police investigation, Oyeyemi hinted, had revealed that Olatayo a native of Omu-Aran in Kwara State “is a call girl who sees the baby as a disturbance to her business, hence she decided to do away with the baby.”

He added that Olatayo had an accomplice in Imo-born Chioma, “who quickly contacted the buyer in Anambra State.”

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole, has ordered the transfer of the suspects to the anti-human trafficking and child labour unit of the State CIID for further investigation.

CP Bankole also directed that everything legal must be done to recover the sold baby.
