Scores of workers of Daar Communications Plc, operator of African Independent Television (AIT) and Raypower FM Radio, on Wednesday shut down all broadcasting activities at the Benin studio in protest over unpaid salaries.

The protesting workers were said to have blocked the main entrance to the station located along the Benin/Lagos bypass.

A detachment of anti-riot policemen were however called by the management of the station to forestall any break down of law.

It was gathered that the protesting workers put at 50 of AIT and Ray Power, were owed salaries salaries spanning between 12 and 17 months.

One of the protesting workers who did not want his name in print for personal reasons, said newly employed staff of AIT were being owed 12 months while old staff were yet to be paid salaries between 13 months and staff of the Raypower FM, the Radio arm of the broadcast outfit were owed 17 months.

“The stations generate millions of naira on a daily basis, so there is no reason why we should not be paid our salaries. They have no excuse not to pay us our money. It is share wickedness and man’s inhumanity to his fellow man. We have families to care for and children to pay their school fees. Many of our children have stopped going to school. But their own attend schools abroad.

“Look at where our station is located, in another village so far away from Benin City. You have to chatter a taxi carb for not less than N500.00 to get there if you miss the staff bus. And not even every cab driver will agree to go there because of the wrong location of the station, yet, they expect us to be there everyday, whether you have anything to do or not,” the source told

Chairman of the organization, Raymond Dokpesi (Jnr) was said to have spoken to the protesters on phone. He allegedly appealed for calm, assuring them that the management will within one week do everything possible to pay parts of the salary arrears.

He however allegedly threatened to pay-off any of the staff that decided to resign from the establishment.

Act of wickedness.

AIT no dey shame with all the millions

made from adverts, and campaign

they still cant pay workers


shame!!!

Oh boy! With all the money they make from advertisement , sponsored programmes yet he cant pay his staff? This is so not right They should close it down permanently

What did Dokpesi use the campaign money he collected from Jonathan for if he can't pay his workers salary?

upon all Wike and PDP campaign money!!! Heartless Man/Management

Hmmmm.,





I comment my reserve for later....0

Dokpesi couldn't even pay salary? With all the funds he collected from PDP's hate campaign?
WTF!!

The cheif tanoid dokpesi is broke

I no d guy too well He dhe use him staff workers stars Foolish man

Upon all the money Dokpesi made from slandering Buhari and Tinubu? ? This is just too bad.

With all dis billion PDP gave to dem. Staff of AIT pls write application letter to Channel TV cos PMB will soon convert Channel TV to National TV to replace sick NTA. Thank me later.


Channel played a matured role in dis Last election, if u agree 'Like' if u Disagree 'share'

I remember when AIT newly started in Lagos at Alagbado and almost got shot down for financial recklessness and had to be bailed out by powerful people. In fact, for about a week then, they had to publicly show appreciation to those people.

The issue of Kenny Ogungbe and Dayo Adeleye a.k.a D1's reckless spending when there were still with Raypower FM is still fresh and this again

I won't be surprised if they are shot down permanently in future over financial issues, it seems it is their trademark. No wonder they haven't improve since inception, at a time we thought they would take broadcasting to the next level.

Oga Dokpesi, abeg pay dem their salary.




I wonder what he use all the billions he was paid by Pdp for.

17 what?

and tell me why won't employee pilfer


#dokpesipaytheirsalary

I work in AIT abuja and salaries have not been paid for 11months...port Harcourt staff up to 8months unpaid salaries!!! Seriously looking for another job! God will help us.

Sorry o Mr AIT. So inspite of the heavy adverts and the hate campaign ran for PDP, the man is still owing them for several months?
BTW, how does the people get to work, feed their families, for over one year if there are no other means of income for them and they are not pilfering?

Good move...



Thief Raymond Dokpesi return back the money I invested in your fraudulent DAAR Communication Plc

This news will sound like a sweet melody to some ears..... Dokpesi enter Nairaland ring to receive some real name bashing.

But truthfully nothing pains like working nd not knowing when you will collect your pay...it is a mean feeling. Dokpesi u no try.
Jee kwuo ugwo iji!!!!!

The 1st Igbo language blog is out, it is fun and insightful. Visit, comment, share and criticize.www.odeniigbo..com

NO MORE REVENUE FROM PDP

[s]anyways betting folks, try this bbm channel for free tips[/s] C00182FD4

useless station don spend money on top politics

Where did the money for the hateful documentaries against Buhari and Tinubu went to? Not to talk of all the numerous campaigns. The money AIT(Or rather Dokpesi) got from GEJ is larger than Akwa Ibom allocations.

F

Who wey bail AIT out this time?
