The workers, who had gathered outside the gate at about 8a.m., refused to allow the Director of the board, Issa Shuaib, and the staff to move out of the office premises.
They sang various songs of protest to press home their demand.

Tragedy struck yesterday at the Makoko waterfront, which is currently under demolition by the Lagos State Government, as a police corporal shot and killed one of the residents who were appealing for more time to pack their properties before the demolition of their homes.
The victim, identified as Timothy Azinpono, was said to be advising protesting residents on how to conduct themselves during a planned peaceful protest before the police corporal aimed and shot at him.
