Some staff of Berger Paints Plc on Wednesday protested what they termed as “unwholesome” treatment meted out to those who were recently disengaged by the company.

The protesters, who were singing various anti-establishment songs, carried placards with various inscriptions such as:

The protesting workers besieged the company’s vicinity located at Oba Akran area of the Ikeja Industrial Estate in Lagos.
