Employment disputes getting rough in Nigeria

While employment disputes in the U.S. can be rough, they usually do not involve attempted assassination.  But a Nigerian flight instructor, fired from his job at Capital Airline, Ltd., over an affair with his Ugandan girl friend, says that hired killers acting for his former employer are now after him.

Akintunde Sotomi, a nephew of Ade Isikalu, the airline’s Managing Director, brought Pamala Kinani with him to Nigeria and got her a job with the airline.  Sotomi says things got complicated when he discovered that Uncle Ade and Kinani were having an affair.

Sotomi reported things to the company’s chair, who fired Isikalu for sexual harassment.  So far, so good.  But Isikalu’s replacement then apparently started having an affair with Kinani.  Sotomi, angered, tried to get her deported, but he was ultimately fired himself.  Since then, dangerous looking individuals carrying bags suitable for carrying weapons have been dropping by regularly to try and see him, although so far guards have stopped them.
