A distressing incident at a Tigoni-based company has sparked widespread outrage after female employees were subjected to a strip search due to a misplaced sanitary pad, leading to online condemnation of the mistreatment.

The Quality Assurance manager of the company claimed that the sanitary pad had been improperly disposed of, prompting a search to identify the responsible individual.

Senator Gloria Orwoba took to Twitter to inform her followers that she had intervened after receiving a distress call regarding the situation at the Tigoni company. Employees had expressed their grievances over the mistreatment surrounding the used sanitary pad.

According to Senator Orwoba, the Quality and Assurance manager discovered a used sanitary towel in one of the bins designated for other purposes, causing an uproar. The manager then proceeded to gather the women from the specific team and allegedly instructed them to undress to identify the person responsible for the misplaced pad. When no one confessed, the manager sought to determine who was menstruating in order to administer punishment.

Upon receiving the distress call the previous night, Senator Orwoba contacted the company's management in the morning, raising her concerns about the incident. She recounted her conversation with one of the managers, where she expressed her dismay regarding the strip search and punishment being imposed on the employees due to the sanitary item's placement.

The incident has sparked outrage among netizens, who are expressing their disgust and support for the affected employees on various social media platforms. The mistreatment and violation of the employees' privacy have been strongly condemned.

The company involved has yet to issue a public statement addressing the incident, but the online uproar has put pressure on them to address the concerns raised by Senator Orwoba and the public. Many are calling for an investigation and appropriate action to be taken against those responsible for the mistreatment of the female employees.

The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting individual privacy and dignity in the workplace, emphasizing the need for proper policies and sensitization on issues of menstrual hygiene.
