New reaching us suggests that Band boys of Saheed Osupa have
began an indefinite strike over several unpaid wages.
According to reports the debt drama has been on since
late last year after which a 26 man band boys had a meeting early this year to
resolve the issue. The band held a meeting with the management of Osupa to bear
their minds on the way forward to solve the crisis.
Balo and Ifawole (Oracle) who spoke on behalf of the band
were told that the management can conveniently pay #100,000 per show to 26 band
members instead of the initial #150,000 that was meant to be their wages and
the band members accepted the offer to work without any delay or hesitation.
After several weeks of discussion, they (band members) discovered
that the #100,000 pay that was concluded with the management was not regular in
line with the promises made by the management.
After efforts to call the attention of the management to
redeem their promises fell on deaf ears, the band members decided to embark on
an indefinite strike.
The indefinite strike by the 26 man band started on Saturday
22nd of August and will linger on till further notice. The band members claimed
they are ready for solution if only Saheed Osupa and his management are ready
deliver on their promises.
