Angry workers barricaded the entrance of thestation with drums and other items in order
to cripple the activities of both the local
radio station of 106.5 and Africa independent
Television station. Customers had to turn
back because they could not access the
premises along NTA- Choba road in Port
Harcourt, Rivers State.
Barri Peremougu, Southern Director of station,
was almost lynched by the angry workers
according to witnesses at the scene.
Not paying workers is a common trend
among media houses in Nigeria. Daar
Communications continuously denies workers
pay despite the huge amounts earned in
commercials. In the last session of general
news every segment of news was
commercialized. There ihas been no
explanation given by management for the
cause of back-pay to employees.
