Some retirees of the Federal Aviation Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) were yesterday forcefully evicted from the housing quarters of the agency following the expiration of the quit notice given to them.
This resulted to confusion at the quarters when a combined team of mostly FAAN personnel's, security agents and legal officers stormed the premises to effect the eviction order.
The properties of the affected retirees were thrown out by the team amidst protest by the former workers.
Chairman of Aviation Parastatals Retirees, Chief Thadeus Obidike kicked against the eviction saying the action violated the existing agreement between FAAN and its Workers who are covered in the Monetisation policy of government.
He further said the matter was already in court, adding that FAAN acted in violation of ongoing dialogue.
However the acting General Manager, corporate affairs of FAAN, Mrs Henrietta Yakubu explained that the agency acted within the law, adding that the six affected retirees had been paid their retirement benefits the authority had served them series of notice to vacate the quarters.
