The PUNCH had reported that the office of the AGF issued queries to the two workers following a letter by NAPTIP to the AGF accusing them of human trafficking and exploitation of vulnerable persons.

 

The Secretary-General of ASCSN, Alade Lawal, announced the replacement of Bola-Audu with Dr Tommy Etim Okon, as its acting national president, citing “certain unforeseen development that stares the union in the face.”
