The songs generated commotion and later resulted in free for all among members of the union. 

In the melees, two members of the union, Mr. Femi Oyeleke, and Mrs. Sofiat Raji, sustained injuries and were treated by the medical team offering free healthcare service at the workers’ day. 

The medium learnt that some notable union leaders intervened and calmed the nerves of the NULGE members.
