THE Police Command in Lagos State has confirmed the death of a 45-year-old labourer, Nwanneka Ogbonaya, after some blocks fell on him at a construction site.

The command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday in Lagos that the incident happened on Friday at 4:30 p.m. at Opebi, in Ikeja.

Hundeyin said that the elder brother of the deceased reported the case.

According to him, Ogbonaya worked at a construction site where the old building was being demolished to make way for new structure.

“The blocks suddenly collapsed on him and led to body injuries and unconsciousness.

“He was rushed to the Lagos State Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) where the doctor on duty confirmed him dead,” Hundeyin said.

He added that investigation into the case was still ongoing. (NAN)
