Holding

The Court grants an injunction pending the hearing and determination of the intended appeal.

Facts

The applicant, Sister Sarah Adipo, was employed as a teacher by the respondent, Teachers Service Commission. The respondent served her with a letter of interdiction citing insubordination, infamous conduct, and forgery/corrupt deals.
