Coalition Of Northern Groups Demand Review Of Kyari’s Suspension

The Coalition of Northern Groups has kicked against the suspension of the embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr. ABBA KYARI following his indictment by a US Court.

Spokesman of the Coalition, comprising civil society organisations and non-governmental bodies, ABDULAZEEZ SULAIMAN spoke at a news conference after its meeting in Kaduna state.

He noted that both the Nigerian police authorities and the FBI breached KYARI's fundamental rights by not allowing him to be heard before taking the hasty actions against him.

They have, therefore, demanded an immediate review of the suspension and have also asked that the ongoing investigation with the FBI be transferred to the Nigerian Intelligence Agency.

Mr. ABBA KYARI was suspended by the Police Service Commission following his indictment in the case of alleged fraud linked to popular socialite, RAMON ABBAS, a.k.a HUSHPUPPI.

According to a statement by the commission's Head of Public Relations, IKECHUKWU ANI, the suspension took effect from July 31, and would subsist pending the outcome of the investigation.

The commission also directed the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, to furnish it with information on further developments on the matter for necessary further action.

 

 

August 9, 2021 No-Work-No-Pay Directive: FG Battles NARD, Opens Attendance Registers, Resident Doctors Adamant

No-Work-No-Pay Directive: FG Battles NARD, Opens Attendance Registers, Resident Doctors Adamant

The Federal Government has mandated all chief medical directors in teaching hospitals nationwide to open attendance registers with a view to stopping salaries of doctors taking part in the strike called by the National Association of Resident Doctors.

The order, which was revealed by a senior health official, was also confirmed by the President of NARD, Dr UYILAWA OKHUAIHESUYI.

The senior health official said government is determined to implement the no-work-no-pay order from today, adding the attendance registers will be opened in all hospitals.

But as government and resident doctors traded blame over the strike, plight of patients in the affected hospitals worsened as many of them were withdrawn by their relatives.

Recall that NARD last week resumed the strike it suspended on April 10 following the Federal Government's promise to meet its demands including payment of the residency fund, COVID-19 allowance, hazard allowance as well as the outstanding salary shortfalls.

The Minister of Health, Dr. CHRIS NGIGE said government is serious about the no-work-no-pay order.

However, the Chairman, House of Representatives committee on Health care services, YUSUF SUNUNU said a meeting has been called today to resolve the crisis.
