Some aggrieved casual workers of a Chinese company in the Ogun Guangdong Free Trade Zone located at the Ado – Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State , have set ablaze one of the company ’ s vehicle and destroyed two other vehicles .

The dissatisfied workers reportedly protested against the company ’ s decision to lock them within the premises.

It was gathered that the decision to lock them up within the premises was part of measures to stop the spread of COVID- 19 and to obey the two – week lockdown extension of the government .

The protesters in a video circulated on social media were heard saying, “ No more, management . This management should have sorted this since yesterday , pay us at least two months’ salary ” .

Confirming the incident , the Police Public Relations Officer in the state , Abimbola Oyeyemi , said the incident had happened three days ago .

Oyeyemi said there was no unrest in the area , saying, it was just a protest without loss of life .

He said , “ It happened two to three days ago . The Chinese company locked its casual workers inside the company since the beginning of the lockdown .

“ The workers were now clamouring that they wanted to go home , demanding that the management pay them off . That was what actually sparked off the protest . ”

“ They set ablaze the company ’ s vehicle but not completely burnt . They also destroyed the windscreens of two vehicles .

“ The police have intervened in the matter and the management of the Chinese company has paid them off, the workers have all gone to their houses . ”
