“This event took place at Italy Ceramics company, the producer of Virony Tiles, a newly launched ceramics tiles factory in Ogere-Remo, Along Lagos Ibadan Expressway, Ogun State. In several occasions, these Chinese workers allegedly use the Police and Army to assault its workers, beat them up and inflict injuries on them for no reason.

“It is not enough that they employ workers without proper job offers and contracts, they do not pay pension nor other benefits. The welfare of the staff is not important to them as they pack more than 12 people in one room with poor ventilation.

“Recently there was a fued between Italy Ceramics and its Chinese power company CCETC SUK POWER STATION which is located at the same Qingyang Industrial Park, Ogere-Remo. A Nigerian staff attached to the power station was mercilessly beaten to a near death situation by a team of soldiers hired by Italy Ceramics as a result of their dispute.

“There has been a record of the death of two Nigerian workers already in this Chinese company. At least let the world know the atrocities being perpetrated by these Chinese capitalists and money mongers in Nigeria.”
