A Nigerian civil servant has been abruptly relieved of her duties for taking to social media to announce the death of her colleague who died in the line of duty.
Ruqayyat Tijani Usman
Ruqayyat Tijani Usman, pictured above, lost her civil service job with the Nasarawa State government Ministry of Justice on Thursday after she blasted them on Facebook and the government got to know about it.
She however took to Twitter last night to break the news.
Ruqqayat had gotten furious when news broke that her close friend who was a medical doctor named Ibrahim Oshafu at Dalhatu Specialist Hospital (DASH) Lafia, Nassarawa state was confirmed dead after treating a patient with Lassa Fever.
DASH is the only specialist hospital owned by the Nassarawa state government.
At that time also, organised Labour in Nasarawa was on industrial action over non payment of salaries, half payment of salaries to local government workers and non payment of staff benefits.
An infuriated Ruqqayat expressed her disappointment on Facebook only for it to cost her her job.
