200 private guards mob own boss in Zamfara

Over 200 aggrieved staff of a private guard company called PAMA Global Security in Zamfara state mobbed their Managing Director, Alhaji Hassan Shattima over nonpayment of their salaries for seven months, Daily Trust has gathered.

The incident took place within the premises of the federal medical facility in Gusau. It took the intervention of the men of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps to save the MD of the security company from being lynched by the angry staff.

It was gathered the company owed his staff posted to the Federal Medical Center seven months salaries. But, when they learnt that their boss was planning to pay them only two month salaries after he collected payment for four months from his client, that is the FMC, the staff became angry and went on rampage.

Witnesses told Daily Trust that the aggrieved private guards pounced on the Managing director of the company when they saw him and started hitting him with sticks and other dangerous objects and some of them were trying to strip him naked publicly.
