Published

FOLLOWING the invasion of Akure South council secretariat in Ondo State by 30 herdsmen, workers yesterday failed to report for duty vowing not to resume till next Monday.

This was as the state governor, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu reportedly lambasted labour leaders in the area for addressing the press yesterday giving impression that he (Akeredolu) was not in control of situation in the state.

Reports had it that the governor invited the labour leaders to a meeting where he accused them of instigating the council workers and creating tension in the state over “a minor squabble.”

Vanguard was informed that barely 24 hours after the sack of the council, three herdsmen on a motorcycle attempted to drive into the secretariat premises early yesterday morning ostensibly to provoke the council workers.
