Radio Bayelsa boss allegedly flog staff.

The  industrial dispute at Radio Bayelsa , christened Glory FM took a twist on Thursday as the General Manager flogged four staffers on duty

Mr Tonye Yemoleigha, NUJ Chairman in Radio Bayelsa told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Yenagoa that he and three female staff were caned by the General Manager of the Station, Mr John Idumange.

“Four of us, myself and three female staff were flogged by Idumange himself. The report that it was thugs is inaccurate. It was the General Manager himself. The blisters on the skin are more severe for the ladies.

“We have reported the matter to the Ekeki Police Division and sought medical attention at the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa. Workers have been constantly intimidated and threatened for no just cause.

Mr Idumange declined to comment on the allegation that he caned the four members of staff.
