Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has been locked inside his office by protesting workers who accuse him of high handedness.
The minister was said to have prevented workers who came to work late from gaining access to the ministry.
The union members comprising the Housing and Works Ministry decided to lock the ministry, blocking entrance and exit point and preventing the minister from leaving the office.
They also claim that he stopped engineers and directors from doing their work, and has been breaking public service rules since his appointment, by bringing in consultants to run the affairs of the ministry.
A union official, Williams Kudi, told AIT that the minister has refused to grant them an audience to express their concerns.
The minister and his aides have so far been unreachable.
