Workers at the Akure Mall popularly known as ShopRite are protesting against what they described as the sale of the company.
The staff were worried that this could lead to loss of jobs as the sale was carried out without giving them consideration in the deal.
Armed with placards with different inscriptions, the protesting staff said they were treated by the management like slaves.
A 23-year-old woman and employee of Shoprite in Akure, the Ondo State capital, Jumoke Kehinde, had late last year committed suicide after being suspended from work.
Kehinde was found dead on New Year’s Eve at her apartment along Oda Road in the Kajola area of Akure.
