"Wherefore the Plaintiff claims against the Defendants both jointly and/or severally or in the alternative:
-
i.
a declaration that the 2nd Defendant ought to have reversed the dismissal order;
-
ii
An order that the Defendant pay over to the plaintiff in the sum of N76.74 million with interest at the rate of 30% per annum from the date of filing this writ and thereafter at the rate of 6% per annum until payment.
-
iii.
an order reinstating the Plaintiff into 2nd Defendant's service or that of the Kwara State Government as represented by the 3rd Defendant and
-
iv.
an order directing the 2nd and /or 3rd Defendant to cause to be paid jointly and/or severally all the outstanding entitlements of the Plaintiff'.
-
The Plaintiff filed a Statement of Claim. However, only the 2nd Defendant filed a Statement of Defence. Only the Plaintiff testified in support of his case whilst the 2nd Defendant called one witness. On 13-10-94, the trial Judge, Ajayi J. found only the 2nd Defendant liable and ordered that it should pay to the Plaintiff "all his benefits and entitlements since his dismissal on 25-4-84".
The 2nd Defendant was dissatisfied with the judgment. It brought an appeal against it at the Ilorin Division of the Court of Appeal (hereinafter called 'the Court below'). The Court below in its judgment on 29-3-2000 allowed the appeal and set aside the judgment of the trial Court. The Plaintiff has brought this further appeal before this Court.
