Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, disclosed this in his Twitter handle as well as his Facebook page on Thursday.
Ossai, who until December 13, 2013, was a supervisor with a Lebanese owned firm, Toppan Printing Company. She had alleged that Noine assaulted her many times during her eight months stay at the company.
Currently at a private hospital in the Fagba area of Lagos State, Ossai was said to have undergone emergency surgery four days after the kick to save her life as her placenta was said to have been damaged.
Abati said Jonathan was shocked when he learnt of the development and had directed the Nigeria Police Force to investigate the matter.
He said the President had also directed four ministers – Mr. Aba Moro (Interior), Chief Emeka Wogu (Labour), Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu (Health) and Hajia Zaynab Maina (Women Affairs) – as well as the National Human Rights Commission, to probe the matter in order to recommend sanctions and remedial actions.
He said, “President Jonathan was shocked by reports of a pregnant Nigerian worker losing her baby after being beaten up by her Lebanese employer.
“The President has ordered the police, ministers of Interior, Labour, Women Affairs, Health and the NHRC to investigate for sanctions and remedial action.”
Nigerians pple and govt need to be aware of atrocities being committed by these Lebanese in the country they think they are above the law and can do away with anything in the country. Anyway they had little blame when they know that if a token is given to Nigerian police whatever the atrocity committed will be cover up. Until we start bringing them to justice for their miss-deed they will continue with their lawlessness atrocities and arrogancies. Nigerian will be watching the outcome of this matter.

ReplyDeleteLebanese,Chinese and Indians are birds of a kind.Labour organization shld probe all their companies if they will and they wl be shocked abt the inhuman treatments meted on employees all in the name of providing jobs that the govt isn't able to provide.
ReplyDeleteThey place you on contract for years,pay you peanut as salary,overwork and cheat you and expect you not to complain.
They hardly care abt anyone.All they are after is profit and more profit.
The government must rise up and begin to address these issues.
