The Nigeria Police Force, Lagos State Command, says a 25-year-old contract staff, has died in a horrific manner.
The staff, whose name was not mentioned, died after he allegedly jumped into an iron melting pot of his company.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday.
The image maker said that the safety officer of the company, whose name also was not mentioned, reported the case to the Sagamu Road Police Division on Aug. 3, at about 6.00 p.m.
Hundeyin said 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 staff 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.
