There was pandemonium among workers and
intending travelers on Tuesday at the premises of Delta Line in Asaba
following the discovering of strange objects, including a dead cock,
which were feared to be sacrificed objects.
It was alleged that the workers of the
transport company had engaged themselves in a juju warfare following
perceived injustices.
The junior workers who claimed to have
been sidelined and made miserable, had reportedly vowed to make the
company a shadow of itself at all costs.
A driver in the company (Name withheld)
said, “Apart from the strange substances, the company is bedeviled with
witchcraft as many of us that have been cheated and sidelined by the so
called management officers have taken their matters to the covens.
Investigation revealed that strange substances had been found in the company in the past.
An employee of the company who did not
want his name in the print, however, dismissed the juju war, saying,
“Yes, there is crisis in the company, workers have not been paid, I do
not know of the juju war or strange substances found at the premises,
all I know is that they are internal crisis over alleged
misappropriation of funds”.
Speaking to our correspondent, the state
Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, Comrade David Ofoeyeno, said it was
necessary for Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s intervention, saying that over
700 workers on the pay roll of the transport company had been going
through difficult times as a result of unpaid salaries.
He said, “Delta Line needs serious
overhauling because of the serious crisis bedeviling the company, there
are serious problems in the company but I thank Gov. Okowa for his
prompt intervention to help the company grow”.
Meanwhile, Okowa has approved the
removal from office of the company’s General Manager, Mr. Eyione Isaiah,
the company’s Secretary, Mr. Henry Ogichigba; and the auditor, Mr.
Frank Preh for alleged misappropriation of funds meant for the company.
It was alleged that the company’s
General Manager, Isaiah, and others squandered some amount of money
running into millions of naira; an allegation Eyione described as
untrue, describing his present predicament as the handiwork of his
enemies.
