We were fired, Happie Boys say

In a post on Instagram, the boys maintained that they have lost their job and no one has reached out to them for any retraining.

The boys stated that they have only been paid their salaries and nothing else.

They wrote:

"Against what they published, we want to make it known that: We were fired! Nobody is in close communication with us. We were not offered any retaining. We only received our salaries days after the video went viral and the company received a lot of backslashing online."

Man justifies sack of two security men

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Nigerians were divided on the rightness and wrongness of the sack of the Chicken Republic security men.

One of those people, @mujano_004, who believed the organisation did good said:

"Those guys were wrong, chicken republic is a corporate organization, and they don't joke with their brand."

Note that his response was in reaction to Adewale Adetona's tweet who asked if the sack was a good judgement call or not.
