Imo street sweepers protest in Owerri, demand payment of two months salary arrears
The state coordinator, Rufus Okarinwe, while speaking to DAILY POST said the Imo sweepers have been there right from Achike Udenwa’s regime until the coming of Emeka Ihedioha when they were laid off unceremoniously.

Ulonna Njoku and forced to sign a disengagement letter in the midst of security personnel.
