Those present at a Lagos based printing company, Toppan Packaging Company, located on Ladipo Oluwole in Ikeja Industrial Estate could not believe their eyes on Friday December 13, 2013, when the shift manager, Kaveh Noine, a Lebanese, beat up the Cleaning Unit Supervisor Mrs. Alice Ossai in their presence, due to what he deemed negligence on her part.

Mrs Alice, who was 7-month pregnant, lose her pregnancy as a result of the serious beating.

I hear that President Goodluck Jonathan was sad when he heard about the incident and has ordered a probe into the case of the 34-year-old woman and should be followed with all necessary actions.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, disclosed this through his Twitter handle as well as his Facebook page on Thursday.

Mrs Alice who is currently at a private hospital in the Fagba area of Lagos State, was said to have undergone emergency surgery four days after the kick to save her life as her placenta was said to have been damaged.

President Jonatthan directed four ministers – Mr. Aba Moro (Interior), Chief Emeka Wogu (Labour), Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu (Health) and Hajia Zaynab Maina (Women Affairs) – as well as the National Human Rights Commission, to probe the matter in order to recommend sanctions and remedial actions.
