Former BOST deputy MD sues company over alleged unlawful termination

Former Deputy Managing Director of Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Limited (BOST), Joseph Dindiok Kpemka, has filed a lawsuit against the company, alleging unlawful termination of his position. Kpemka's attorney, Patrick Fafali Azameti, stated that his client was never formally informed of his employment termination following the 2025 government change, despite persistent attempts to clarify his status and recover outstanding benefits.

According to Azameti, some individuals entered Kpemka's office after the government change, instructing him to leave and transfer his responsibilities to BOST officials. The lawyer explained that Kpemka made numerous attempts to secure his outstanding entitlements from the company, but these efforts were unsuccessful, leading him to seek legal action.

Azameti emphasized that his client had not received any formal communication confirming his termination. He noted that Kpemka's employment contract outlined the terms and conditions governing his service, including the procedures BOST was required to follow when ending his appointment and the benefits and remuneration owed to him.

The lawsuit seeks compensation from BOST for the circumstances surrounding Kpemka's departure and the outstanding entitlements he claims are owed to him.
