For alleged insubordination, a medical doctor and three other staff of the Federal Nuero Psychiatric Hospital, Uselu, Benin City, Edo State, have been shown the way out.
The affected workers are a medical consultant, Dr. Ambrose Lawani, Kennedy Oriakhi, a pharmacist, Mr. OJ Ugiagbe-Ogbeide and a senior accountant, Mr. Theophilus Osifo.
The Chief Medical Director of the hospital, Dr. Sunny Olotu, who confirmed the development, said two other staff of the institution; Dr. Charles Ikeji and Ms.O. U. Morgan were also suspended.
Olotu explained that the punitive measure was taken against the embattled staff by the management and board of the hospital “with recourse to laid down rules and procedures.’
The CMD stated that the duo of Ikeji and Morgan were suspended because they had been “investigated by the police and are currently in court for alleged felony.”
He said the decision to axe the workers was reached “after tolerating their lawlessness, insubordination, misdemeanour and rebellious attitude from 2004 to 2012.”
Olotu, who berated the embattled staff’ attempt to forcefully resume work in spite of been relieved of their appointment stated: “the action is a reaction of their anti-social attitude.”
According to him, “With recourse to the extant rule of the civil service, those investigated for criminality have been suspended; and we have implemented the rule accordingly.
“So, we are likely going to have more peace in the hospital because some of them have been the arrow head that have rocked the peace of the hospital,” he added.
