ONE CONFIRMED DEAD IN AN ACCIDENT AROUND PWD-IKEJA, LAGOS
Some angry youths are protesting the death of a yet-to-be-identified man after an excavator belonging to a construction company allegedly caused an accident at the PWD-Ikeja railway area.
Eyewitness report claims a train was moving along the Ikeja railway, with some passengers hanging from it at PWD bus stop, while an excavator being used for the construction of the second phase of the railway in Ladipo, Ikeja, was stationed very close to the railway.
Unfortunately, as the train passed the area where the excavator was stationed, the men hanging on the train were knocked down by a part of the excavator that was close to them.
At least one of the men died. There are reports that the second man also died but this cannot be verified at the moment.
