                        Mr. Charles Obazuaye v. First Bank of Nigeria Plc. N.L.L.R (Part 207)  722-723

      To dismiss an employee from employment that the employee did something(s) terribly wrong or that he committed serious offence(s) or serious misconduct. Therefore, his chance of securing alternative employment is extremely difficult because no responsible employer will be interested in employing anybody with such bad or shady record from his/her previous employment. In addition, the dismissed employee forfeits his terminal benefits and gratuity regardless of his position or the number of years he had worked with his employer. Consequently, if employers are allowed to dismiss without reason, it becomes an indefensible basis for them to easily discard with their employees, especially those with many years in service without paying their terminal benefits and gratuities. In addition, the careers of many people will be ruined unnecessarily. [Mr. Charles Obazuaye v. First Bank of Nigeria Plc. Unreported Suit No: NIC/LA/186/2011, judgment delivered on October 30, 2013 referred to.] (Pp. 722-723, Paras. G-C)
