THE Lagos Deep Off-shore Logistics (LADOL) base is currently embroiled in ghost workers crisis that is rocking the entire organisation following the discovery of employment fraud.

The crisis has also led to sack of two personnel of the base just as investigations to unravel the level of their involvement is also on going.

Sources close to the base told SWEETCRUDE, that over N10million was discovered to have been paid out to ghost workers over a period of about 15 months.

It was gathered that management is already putting structures in place to forestall a re-occurrence of the incident in the future.

LADOL spokesman, Mr. Alex Akao however denied the occurrence of such incident in the base adding that the operations at the base is too technical and structured to entertain the issue of ghost workers.

“The issue of ghost workers cannot happen in LADOL, our operation does not and cannot allow such things to happen at the base. We know the number of the workers that come in there every day because the entrance and exit of people are document and besides, our operations are also technology- driven”, Akao stated.
