Eyewitnesses explained that the facility manager, who was visibly in a rage, refused to listen to pleas from workers around saying he was acting under instructions to lock up the gate of the facility and also report for a meeting at Alausa, Ikeja, where the governor’s office is situated..
He thereafter locked the gate with the archbishop still in the residence and left.
