It was reported that their was a twist in industrial dispute when the General Manager of Radio Bayelsa popularly known as Glory FM flogged four of his members of staff.

Although it was reported that the flogging was done by some unidentified thugs but the three of the female workers claimed the act was committed by the General Manager of the Station, Mr John Idumange.

“Four of us, me 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.”

The members of staff said that they have all been subjected to various degrees of ill treatment since the appointment of the General Manager on December 6, 2016.
