Sacked security men get free salaries

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that luck smiled on the two young Nigerian men who were sacked from their jobs as security men at a restaurant for dancing on duty.

News of their sacking was greeted with more condemnation from Nigerians than commendation for the restaurant's management.

One of such persons who condemned their sacking was a Nigerian man based in Canada identified as Emma Duru. Emma went on to offer to place the young men on salaries for months as well as get them new jobs.
