The inscriptions included: "Workers are working under a toxic environment, withdraw your service now or face our wrath", "Tony must go," and "KATH workers deserve better."

The facility's security, the police, and the regional security liaison supervised the removal of the locks to allow the HR officer access.

Deputy Regional Security Coordinator, Alhaji Nje Abdullah Omar, denied authorizing the action and promised a joint investigation with the police to identify the perpetrators.

"We don't have any idea about it. Captain Jabari [Regional Security Coordinator] says we have not sanctioned anyone to come and do what just happened," he clarified.

He stated that "we cannot justify if this is an internal matter but the investigation will determine. The HR wasn't around when they came to lock up the office, so he was shocked and I have calmed him down."

The incident left workers stranded and shocked.
