LAWMA Staff Killed By Agency’s Waste Disposal Truck (GRAPHIC PHOTO VIEWER DISCRETION)
A worker with the Lagos Waste Management Authority was yesterday killed in an accident involving one of the agency’s own trucks.
The deceased, identified simply as Idowu, was crushed by the truck after it skidded off the road and fell on him.
The unfortunate incident, which occurred along the Egbeda/Idimu Road area of the state, was said to have been caused by commercial buses parking illegally to pick up passengers.
A LAWMA official, Aminu Odukoya, who is a field supervisor, said Idowu was one of the officials collecting refuse from residents whenever the PSP truck stopped at refuse points. Odukoya said she was pained that nobody was able to get the plate numbers of the buses that caused the accident.
