LAGOS WORKER JUMPS INTO COMPANY’S IRON MELTING POT, DIES
Agency Report
The police command in Lagos State said a 25-year old contract worker whose name was not mentioned, allegedly jumped into an iron melting pot of his company and died.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this on Sunday.
Mr Hundeyin said that the safety officer of the company, whose name also was not mentioned, reported the case to the Sagamu Road Police Division on August 3 at about 6.00 p.m.
He added that the company was located at the Industrial Scheme of Odogunyan area in Ikorodu of Lagos State.
He said that the safety officer reported that on the same date, at about 3.15 p.m., the contract employee attached to the AOD Section of the company allegedly ran to the iron melting pot, which was out of bound to all the staff during operation.
“He jumped into it and all efforts made by his colleagues to stop him proved abortive, while his body was completely melted. Detectives from the station visited the scene of the crime. The family of the deceased has since been contacted, while investigation is ongoing,” Hundeyin said.
