In a tragic incident on Monday, two female officials of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) lost their lives after being struck by a vehicle near the Charlie Boy area heading towards Gbagada in Lagos State.
An eyewitness identified as Sodiq, who spoke with our correspondent over the phone, reported that the yet-to-be-identified women were carrying out their duties when the accident occurred. The impact was severe, and both women tragically lost their lives at the scene.
Describing the incident, Sodiq 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 responsible for the accident has been apprehended and handed over to the police.
As the community mourns the loss of the LAWMA officials, further details about the incident are expected to be provided later.
