Workers close down Transcop Hotel, Over Unpaid Salary. Guests Locked In Lifts



Information available and received from Calabar is that angry staff of the Transcop Hotel (Metro Hotel) a well known 5-star hotel, took laws to their hands and held the entire hotel to ransom on Wednesday.

There clearly was pandemonium in the entire premises since the maintenance staff were said to have turn off power to the entire building, thus trapping several guests and senior members of the hotel inside lifts. They are reported to be protesting over non payment of their salary and allowances for all months.
Continue.
Those who didn't make it to the hotel before the protest commenced were locked outside, leading to what a source called total confusion. It took the efforts of a combined team of security personnel before the situation was brought under control. Normalcy have returned to the area.  We heard the security personnel pleaded with the workers and got a commitment from the management of the big hotel that something is likely to be done immediately to pay for the workers part of their money.
