ILORIN—The 44 lecturers of the University of Ilorin, UNILORIN, who were sacked by the university and reinstated by the Supreme Court, have asked an Ilorin Federal High Court to commit to prison, the Vice Chancellor and three other officials of the university for “neglecting to obey the judgment of the Supreme Court contained in its judgment delivered on December 11, 2009.”

The aggrieved lecturers based their latest demands on the fact that the university had refused to implement the apex court’s judgment by paying them all their entitlements as directed by the court till date. Such entitlements include their accumulated annual leaves and promotions as contained in the judgment.

In a motion on notice filed by the applicants counsel, Toyin Oladipo, the lecturers are also seeking that the judgment debtors/respondent be “detained in custody until they obey the judgment in all things that ought to have been granted to the judgment creditors according to the judgment.”

The applicants’ further stated: ‘’The Supreme Court delivered its judgment in this case on appeal on December 11, 2009, wherein it restored the judgment of the High Court, thereby granting them all their relief.

“The judgment debtors have refused to grant the judgment creditors their accumulated annual leaves and sabbaticals for the period they were unlawfu-lly dismissed. The judg-ment debtors have refused to grant the judgment creditors their annual pro-motions for the period they were unlawfully dismissed. Forms 48 and 49 have been served on the judgment debtors and they still persist in their disobedience.”

The motion is slated to be heard on Friday, May 25.
