Today, Monday July 1st, 2024 in Ibadan, staff of Yale staged a violent protest against the company’s alleged refusal to distribute palliatives that were reportedly provided by the federal government some time ago. The unrest highlighted the growing frustration and desperation among the employees.

One of the protesters, speaking anonymously recounted the events leading up to the protest. According to the protester, the company had failed to deliver the promised palliatives, prompting the employees to take to the streets in anger.

In an attempt to quell the protest, Yale management called for support from the police and civil defense forces. The presence of law enforcement escalated tensions, leading to a violent confrontation. The situation took a tragic turn when police allegedly fired shots to disperse the protesters, resulting in at least one death and leaving another protester severely injured and hospitalized.

This is really heartbreaking, how can foreign company be doing this to nigerians in their own country.

From my investigation, black people in high positions in that company are the ones sabotaging everything and cheating workers, from HRM down to those engineers

POLICE AGAIN? No wounder one was complaning bout poor working structure....so they needed equipment to kill more civilian...

Geez..

This should not be happening in Nigeria.

May we not be a victim of another man’s mistake or exactitude ooo

Nigeria

Tuehhh

Another life lost and soon to be forgotten by the world while his family are thrown into sadness. Why will these ogas be hiding palliatives ? They obviously want to share them off to family and friends or most likely sell them for profit meanwhile, these things were meant to subsidize feeding for their underpaid staff who need any help they can get. Wickedness in high places yet they're obviously among those abusing Tinubu every day for being insensitive to the plight of Nigerians. Heads must roll

Omo! God help us!

A family bread winner just got killed untimely while fighting for his right, Damn!


God will pun!sh Yale company, and free shooting police officer for this!

YALE.. Give them their palliative or GET THE Bleep out of Nigeria

Because of palliative o. The hunger in this land is too much

Chai..

And what is Tinubu doing about it?

Ehen?
.
Just 2sec wey I read about protest next thing dem don kill person. Naija which way?

Why u go shoot?
Did the foreign company tell him to shoot?
An unarmed man.

Nigeria is a crime to live

Wahala no dey finish

Sad! Who goes to quell a riot with live ammunition? Only in Africa.

I learnt that the military, paramilitary and police were recently motivated by hugely increasing their salaries. Meanwhile lecturers have been agitating for time immemorial to no avail that a professor can not be able to buy Toyota Corolla 2006 with his 1 year salary. For those planning to revolt, government is waiting for you with this killing example

This is barbaric and unacceptable.

This Tinubulation, the ripple effects are all round.

They were promised Agbado and they voted massively for agbado but they are yet to receive even a grain of agbado after a year of agbado administration.

The above is the cause of the protest.

This is pathetic!

Police are not our friend,
They have not still learn from what happened to most of then during end SARs.

RIP

Some people supporting this govt on their fragrant disobedience of several court orders,injunctions and ultimately the rule of law will come out to fault Yale....


RIP to the dead.

They are always ready to kill civilians

This is private organisation. Government cannot force such organisation to implement what is not convenient for them.

Just imagine if those staff's are being relived of there job's, just because of protests.

This one tire me oo

Why does the Nigerian police use life bullets on protesters. There are numerous ways of dispersing protesters without gravely harming anyone.

It's our police that escalated the situation to the loss of a life. Why even draw your gun against unarmed protesters? Even if they were aggressive, were they armed?

madridguy and co said that government should withdraw police men from southeast.


See how the heroes of their police are killing people in southwest.

Police is truly your babablu.
