From Ighomuaye Lucky, Benin
The Nigerian Army, yesterday, took over the premises of the Edo City Transport Service, (ECTS) to forestall possible breakdown of law and order in the establishment.
The staff of the transport company had accused the Managing Director of the company, Mrs Edugie Agbonlahor, of not submitting their pension contributions to the appropriate quota.
They also accused the MD of casualisation of staff, non payment of two months salary and stagnation in their place of work.
The MD, Mrs. Edugie Agbonlahor, had since put a lie to all their claims, noting that the staff were being sanctioned for running their private transport line within the company and, in order to whip up sentiment, decided to come up with such accusations.
