Radio Bayelsa GM Flogs Staff Members
Some staff members of the Bayelsa state owned radio station, popularly known as Glory FM were alleged to have been flogged by the General Manager.
Mr John Idumaye was said to have flogged some three female staffers and one male, Mr. Tonye Yemoleigha, who happens to be the station's NUJ chairman.
According to Tonye, "We have reported the matter to the Ekeki police Division and sought medical attention at the Federal Medical Center, Yenagoa."
After the station went off air due to the strike embarked upon by aggrieved members, the GM was accused to have mobilized some police men and some of the staffers who had refused to join the strike to reopen the station. Although no reasonable programs were aired, the station kept playing some musicals all through.
While the NUJ chairman in the station had accused Mr Idumaye of not carrying them along and sidelining the Public Service Rules in his policies, the GM said some of the staff members were being used to scuttle his reform programs.
"This small radio station has 346 workers; employment and job replacement have never followed due process. We are currently reorganizing the place and they are resisting our efforts."
