Since it's an employment wherein you have agreed to follow the terms and conditions as per your employment letter, I don't see any remedy here. When they transferred the employee to Nigeria, he could have refused. However, there might be a term in the employment letter which would talk about the working conditions which the company would provide. If any of the working conditions in Nigeria are contrary to the ones mentioned in the employment letter then yes, we do have a case. 10 years is a long time, how come the facts came to your knowledge now.
