Magistrate slumps during protest over unpaid salaries in Calabar

One of the 30 magistrates protesting the non-payment of their 24 months salary on Tuesday collapsed in front of the governor’s office, Calabar.

The magistrate, Richard Edet was later revived by his colleagues who gave him milk, soft drinks and water.

The magistrates numbering over 20 came in their full regalia and were among the 30 persons freshly employed by the cross River state government two years ago.

It began on Monday as a lone man protest.

It later culminated into a full-fledged protest in front of the governor’s office, Calabar.
