LAWMA Officials Crushed To Death In Lagos

Two female officials of the Lagos Waste Management Authority, LAWMA were reportedly crushed to death on Monday, by a vehicle.

An eyewitness said the two yet-to-be-identified women died on the spot.

The incident happened around the Charlie Boy area in Gbagada, Lagos State.

The eyewitness said, “It was a ghastly accident; two LAWMA women were just knocked down by a Sienna vehicle while they were carrying out their duty.

“We don’t know what was wrong with the driver; he just drove straight here and hit the two women. It is such a pity.

“The driver has been arrested and handed over to the police.”

Meanwhile, hundreds of cars and commuters have been stuck in traffic for hours on the Oshodi-Gbagada motorway.

The bottleneck was further exacerbated when people stopped both routes of the motorway, causing a halt in traffic movement.

It was gathered that the influx of vehicles using the motorway lanes to get to their destinations created a traffic jam that detained several motorists.

However, according to reports, law enforcement authorities have arrived to prevent a disaster.
