Spokesperson for the aggrieved workers Abdul Aziz who spoke to Citi News explained reasons for the action.

“We’ve been working for over two years, some of us have worked for three years with no pay, we’ve no reason, we’ve not been hearing anything so we decided to come and check up for ourselves to demand what is due us. We are not saying anything all that we are saying is that we will not go beyond this month without our salary”,
