According to an enrolled order at the National industrial court of Nigeria obtained by a Medicalworld Nigeria Correspondent dated 2nd March 2016 with Prof Anthony Emeribe Claimant/Applicants and Hon Minister of health & Medical laboratory science council of Nigeria as defendants/ Respondents

 

The court in the interest of justice ordered as follows: The defandants/ respondents in this case are herein restrained by themselves, agents, privies or any person acting on their behalf or on their instruction from interfering with the claimant/ applicants employment, status, position and priviledges as the registrar, chief executive officer of the 2nd defendant or in any way filling the void position pending the hearing and determination of the motion on Notice dated the 23rd of february but filed on the 24th of february 2016. The return date in this case shall be the 9th of March 2016

 

Meanwhile the claimant/applicant is to enter into written undertaken to pay N100,000 damages to the defendants if it is found at the end of the day that this interim order was unnecessary or the court was misled.

 

You would recall that the Federal ministry of health through a letter by the head Department of Hospital services, Dr. Patience Osinubi dated 19th February had directed Prof. Anthony Emeribe to vacate his seat for unknown reasons to the most senior in the council pending the appointment of a successor.

 

This development attracted mixed feelings even as Prof. Anthony Emeribe blamed the ministry of being sub judice, considering the fact that the matters resulting to his sack were still in court.
