They mentioned that LASPOTECH management has sent over 48 staff to Ikoyi and Kirikiri prisons on trumped-up charges, which led to the death of Comrade Owolabi Sunday and another incarcerated fellow, who is presently on partial stroke.

According to them, while the case of four NASU members that were illegally disengaged lingers, the management has vowed not to reverse the illegality despite the governor’s intervention.

The bodies said on Monday, September 24 2019, five members of staff were dismissed as a result of their involvement in the union’s struggle.
