Sad As LAWMA Worker Dies On Duty
Tragedy struck again in Lagos on Saturday, when a worker with the Lagos Waste Management Authority LAWMA, identified as Mr Nasiru Saheed, on Saturday, died on active service at Ikoyi area of the state.

According to a source, Saheed, on Saturday morning while operating a LAWMA truck along Alexander Road in Ikoyi, Lagos State, suddenly fell from the machine and as result of the heavy impact of the accident, died immediately.
In a viral video on social media, the gory picture was captured as the deceased lied in a pool of his blood wearing LAWMA uniform. LAWMA later confirmed the tragic incident on its official Twitter handle, saying, “LAWMA with a deep sense of regret, announces the death in an accident of one of our waste handlers (Mr Nasiru Saheed) this morning.
