A video showing some aides to the Bayelsa governor, Seriake Dickson, preventing his convoy from leaving the Government House, Yenagoa, is making the rounds on social media.

The former aides are accusing Dickson, whose tenure ends in two days, of refusing to pay their salaries and allowances.

Dickson will be succeeded by David Lyon of the All Progressives Congress.

The protesting workers are heard shouting “pay us our money” in the video as some of them used pipe, sticks, and stones to barricade the entrance to the Government House.

Police officers later removed the objects the protesters used to barricade the road for the governor’s convoy to drive through.

NewsmakersNG learnt that majority of the protesters were people hired by the governor late last year to bolster his chances in the governorship election which his party eventually lost.
