The three workers of Julius Berger construction company who were declared wanted by Rivers State Government after protesting horrible treatment by the company have presented themselves for investigation.
Recall that the Rivers State Government through a statement by the Special Assistant to Governor NYESOM WIKE on Media KELVIN EBIRI, had after the protest by some workers of the construction company declared GIFT ELENWO, CHIBOSO GLORY-EJEKU and TAMBARI GODWIN-GBARA wanted for alleged criminal activities and harassment of contractors, particularly Julius Berger in the State.
But one of the persons declared wanted by the governor, GIFT ELENWO who was at the Government House Gate in the company of the representative of Human Rights Activists and Civil Society Organizations to submit themselves, said they were not criminals but employers of the construction company.
ELENWO said it was unfortunate that some persons will tag them, criminals, for protesting against inhumane treatment against them by the company they have worked for over a year, threatening that those who tagged them criminals should be ready to meet him in court to prove their claims or be ready to pay me for damaging their names.
KELVIN SOBRIMALA- ONWUBO who complained of health challenges after falling from one of the flyovers during construction work, explained how they have been badly treated by their employers.
A Port Harcourt based Human Rights Activist, OC HIGHER-KING who spoke to newsmen explained the legal implications of the action of the construction company against the company workers, including those who are still in detention for protesting against alleged injustice.
Our correspondent reports that no person came out to receive the wanted persons as at the press time.
