The African Centre for Media and Information Literacy has commended the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola (SAN), and the Board of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria for the reinstatement of Murtala Ibrahim, a whistleblower in the Bank.
The African Centre for Media and Information Literacy on Thursday urged the Federal Government to guard the integrity of the whistle-blowing policy by protecting the blowers.
In the petition signed by Chido Onumah, Coordinator of the Centre, AFRCMIL is seeking the urgent intervention of these institutions to investigate and call to order Nwadike of the Legal Department of the Nigeria Police Force and a prosecuting counsel for the police in a dubious allegation leveled against Aaron Kaase, a whistleblower in the PSC.
Coordinator of the centre, Chico Onumah, in a statement on Sunday in Abuja, commended the court for the judgment, which also included order for payment of salaries of the lawmaker for the suspension period.
AFRICMIL described the judgment handed down May 24, 2018 by Justice John Tsoho of the Federal High Court, Abuja as the triumph of constitutional democracy and an enduring affirmation of the sanctity of the protection of whistleblowers.
