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.
