In a similar development, a female, adult has been killed after a fence collapsed on her within an Abattoir complex in the Agege area of Lagos state, and her remains were moved to the Nigeria Police (Abattoir Division).
The partially collapsed fence at Abattoir complex in Oko-Oba was alleged to be responsible for the death of the female victim and injuries sustained by four others who were said to be at a proximal distance to her along same fence.
Confirming the incident to The Nation, Nosa Okunbor, spokesperson of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) said, “a fence collapsed within the Abattoir leading to the loss of life of an adult female, while four other victims who sustained minor injuries. Investigation conducted revealed illegal shanties built behind the fence led to the incident.”
