He called on Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, “to kindly understand our problem and help us out of this situation by taking necessary steps to save our lives.”

He said: “Dear Brothers, we the citizens of India are speaking from Dangote Refinery, which is situated almost 60 kilometres away from Lagos in Nigeria. We are the workers of Dangote Refinery. The whole world is suffering from coronavirus which is a global pandemic. In this situation, Nigeria has also announced its lockdown.

“During this situation of lockdown, the workers of Power Mech Company are being forced to work. The staff are here forcing us to work through physical violence. We request the Prime Minister of India, Mr Narendra Modi Ji, and the Home Minister, Mr Amit Shah ji to help us in this situation.

“The people here are forcing us to work by taking us out of our rooms and taking us into the bus in order to make us work. The company responsible for this is the Power Mech Company. There are many other Indian companies in Nigeria. But none of the workers are being forced to work. All the other companies are abiding by the rules of the lockdown. The other workers are safe and secure and are staying in their rooms. Security arrangements have been made for them.
