The International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands, has faulted the dismissal of Fidelia Onoghaife, a whistleblower, who exposed Dutch Ambassador to Nigeria, Robert Petri.
To hide her dismissal, the Dutch Embassy alleged that she was high-handed in her behaviour and unpopular with staff.Onoghaife dragged the matter to The Hague to rule on her sack. Delivering judgment on the case, The Hague faulted the Dutch Embassy, saying “the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has falsely fired her”.
After revealing the corrupt activities of Petri, the ministry promised Onoghaife that she would be protected as a whistleblower.
