    The sacked workers were not paid their entitlements immediately and most was sacked through telephone calls,thus the suicide of one of them,a Mr Martins at Magboro area of Lagos State.Segun Oloketuyi is not a good leader with his highhandedness of issues concerning the welfare of employees especially the old workers pre-consolidation of the Bank for he always show his hatred for them at all times and they are the workers retrenched.
