chivitaThe Lagos State Government has invited management of Chi Ltd to appear before and explain its role in the killing of two casual workers by police attached to the company last week.

The State’s Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives confirmed the invitation it sent to Chi Limited saying they are expected to appear before the Ministry officials Thursday (today).

Two men were reportedly shot dead by the police during a protest by casual workers of the company who complained marginalization and ill treatment by management of Chi Ltd.

The casual workers complained that the company never bothered about their welfare unlike the permanent staff. They lamented that no package was approved for them for the Christmas and New Year celebrations.

The casual workers, who resorted to self help by taking a carton of the company’s products without approval, were stopped by the police at security post. This degenerated into crisis and in the process, one 19 year old Daniel Osikoya and another staff were shot dead by the police.

The Head of Public Affairs of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives, Mr. Sola Ogunmosunle confirmed that investigation was ongoing on the matter.
