Emeka Umoh, a worker with Hongxing Steel
Company Limited in the Amuwo Odofin area of Lagos State, was scalded to
death after liquefied iron spilled on his body last Wednesday on duty.
He died at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, where he was rushed to for treatment.
Another worker, Adebayo Ajiboye, was reportedly squeezed to death by a compressor sometime in February.
PUNCH Metro learnt that there
was almost a face-off between the management of the company and the
workers, after the management decided to take the remains of the father
of three to a morgue in a tipper.
Some
workers in the Chinese firm, who spoke with our correspondent, said
Umoh and Ajiboye were only two among many others who either died or
sustained permanent disability while working with the company.
According to them, workers get involved
in accidents on a regular basis due to faulty machines and the absence
of safety standards.
