A tragic incident occurred at a factory in Lagos, Nigeria, where a 25-year-old contract worker was reported to have lost his life after jumping into an iron melting pot.
The police command in Lagos State confirmed the incident, although the worker's name was not mentioned.
According to SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the command's spokesperson, in a report attributed to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the safety officer of the company reported the case to the Sagamu Road Police Division on August 3 at around 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,” Mr Hundeyin said.
The police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the worker's death, and more details are expected to emerge as the investigation progresses.
