Wives of Egbin power station workers made a scene as they called for their husbands to be released to them.
Staff of Egbin power station, in Egbin-Ikorodu, have reportedly been banned from going home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They are expected to remain within the company’s residential estate to avoid Coronavirus.
According to a source who spoke to LIB, the staff were told that if they leave the premises of the estate, they stand to lose their jobs.
However, wives of the workers, who have not seen their husbands for weeks due to the official decree, stormed the estate where staff of Egbin power station workers were housed.
In a video making rounds, the women threatened that they will take action if they return after 25 hours and their husbands have not been released to them.
