I think rules of engagement in Nigeria should be review again. Moreover, you were called in to enforce peace. The use of live ammunition against unarmed citizens should not be tolerated.

For the fact they are not full staff what is there if the gave them something for Christmas as they did to their staff? Do not be surprise that our own top management from Nigeria will be against giving them something or is it that if they gave them something it will affect the company ?whites will use us in their own country and still come here to still useless us.I cry for this country.

So let's assume this was possible without any alarms going off, your idea of how to protest against not receiving new year gift is to poison perhaps an entire shifts worth of production and endanger thousands of lives of end consumers?

Well thought out.

Nigerian Police are the most useless things have ever seen.The land is green truly but filled with the wrong people, how on earth will you killed a man because he threw caustic soda not even an acid at you.In total honesty I appreciate God for my life but I guess this country is a very wrong place to be. I have Indians reporting to me in my office and I know their country is not a better place than Nigeria if not even worst but all the name of color , few cash and ignorance, our police who should be protecting us are turning into day light assassin. They make money in Nigeria to feed their people at home yet these people are at the receiving end, if Chivita is the so good, they should go back home and sell it to fellow Indians after all they have a larger population.I tell you they can not, as it is not easy back at home.To our gullible police force, you should cover your face in shame,you killed your brother because #20000 and few basket of juice to be sent to you later by Chi company , forgetting that you have caused a mother to be mourning her son, two women had just been turned to widow all in the name of ignorance ,every person without a black color is oyinbo and will fill your pocket with good cash.Indians are not Americans and so they are only in Nigeria to meet ends need bearing in mind the poverty at home, they thrived because Nigerian Government officials and politicians are stakeholders. Anyway, I pray God should console the bereaved. Nigeria police a disgrace to humanity.

I thought this issue would not get to the media,I Av a friend who work in the company nd he explain everything to me.
the Nigeria police force are just lieing,nobody attack them first.

the chivita company is owned by a German man but now he his old and none of his children av time for the company cause they got there own company.the man decide to put an Indian man in charge nd the Indian man has been treating the workers anyhow.
they normally gift them New year gift,but the Indian man is trying to resist it.

Is this how Indians would keep killing us on there country nd our country

A report has been making the rounds alleging that two casual workers with Indian company, Chi Limited have lost their lives after a team of policemen opened fire on them during a protest at the company ’s headquarters on Ajao Estate, Lagos State .

19- year- old Daniel Osikoya, and the other, whose name had yet to be ascertained , reportedly died from the gun injuries they sustained in the leg and thigh respectively.

The workers had protested against perceived discrimination between them and the regular employees , saying the management only cater to the welfare of the full - time workers and ignore the protesters from the production department despite doing all the “strenuous jobs”

The alleged discrimination escalated with the distribution of Yuletide gift items by the company to only regular workers days ago. This led to the protesters , who work at the production department , unanimously deciding that each of them would take away a carton of the company ’s products – which range from Chivita juice , Happy Hour to Ice tea and Caprizone, among other dairy products – as their own New Year packages.

It was reported that the aggrieved workers were about to move the cartons out of the company’ s gate when the policemen invited by the management opened fire on them, resulting to the alleged deaths, Athough the management of Chi Limited is insisting that not two, but one person died in the incident.

The Lagos State Police Command said the workers had attacked policemen deployed in the area with caustic soda , injuring an inspector.
It added that the operatives responded within the ambit of the rules of engagement.

While many have criticised the actions of the police questioning why they couldn't have douse the tension with tazers or teargas since the workers were only armed with caustic soda, the Police Public Relations Officer in Lagos , SP Dolapo Badmos , was however quoted to have justified the Police’ actions.


“ The command received a distress call that workers of Chi Limited were disrupting business activities of the company”, she told Punch Newspaper.


Dolapo continues; “ The command ’s operatives were mobilised to the scene to douse tension , but the workers attacked the policemen , throwing caustic soda at them .


“ As a result , one inspector suffered severe burns and he is recovering in a hospital . Why should a policeman on duty be attacked ? That attitude should stop .


“ Attacks on policemen are not right and must be condemned ; they are also human beings with families .


“ The command received the report that one person was shot dead .


“ There is what we call rules of engagement and use of firearms under the police acts and regulations .


“ The command has studied the situation and discovered that the personnel deployed acted in accordance with the rules . ”


According to a statement signed by the Head of Corporate Affairs, Chi Limited, Bode Sojobi, and made available to newseveryhour.com, the Company said the incident happened when the workers tried to forcefully cart away products of the company.

Chi Limited said; “In the course of the encounter with the police, two of the workers sustained gunshot wounds. They were rushed to a nearby company-retained hospital for treatment. One of the injured workers is in stable condition in the hospital. The second injured worker was subsequently referred to a Teaching Hospital and was conveyed there in the company’s ambulance. Sadly, he later passed on.”

The Chivita management explained that the workers while trying to cart away the products damaged company’s properties and endangered the lives of other personnel within the premises in the process and that was why they called the police to take care of them.

Chivita Ltd, in the statement, however pride itself as an organisation that places high premium on human life and said the death is immensely painful to them, stating that it has sent its condolence to the deceased family.

See rubbish coming out of the police PRO's mouth. You opened fire against people who were using caustic soda and u call that rules of engagement. You better go back to Kuru (Jos) and re take some courses.

There are ways of dousing such tension and ways of protecting the police at the same time. It is only in Nigeria that police use live bullets against protesters.

Meanwhile there's no functioning labour laws and this will continue to happen till His kingdom come. They should have remained peaceful while praying to God to provide a better job or a better business. Protesting has never solved anything in an Indian/Chinese company.

The company should be shut for 6 months till full investigation has been carried out. It's a shame that the Nigerian police do not have a sub trained for riots "riot police". We have said severally police walking around with live ammo, rifles should be looked into.

One idiot who is definitely not a contract staff developed the contract staff scheme. Which is same or more work without any rights. Less pay, no overtime nothing.
Banks, oil companies ,manufacturing companies- all of them companies that can afford to pay employee benefits choose this scheme so as to declare more profits. Though the profits still go to paying executives bonuses.

It's a form of modern day slavery and this is why senate has to review the Nigerian Labor Law. Maybe these companies are lobbying the Senate who knows.

At the end of the day when the only jobs left for Nigerians are contract jobs you might decide to fight then.

Why don't expatriates too have contract jobs in Nigeria? SLAVERY.
