Two people died yesterday in a workplace accident at a Chinese-run glass trading company in Ruwa, after being crushed by falling glass panels during an offloading operation.
According to reports, the workers were manually offloading large glass sheets, although the task reportedly required the use of a crane. The stack of glass allegedly became unstable and toppled, fatally trapping the two individuals beneath it.
Emergency services were called to the scene, but the victims were pronounced dead. Authorities are expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident, including whether proper safety procedures were followed.
The tragedy has once again raised concerns about workplace safety standards and adherence to industrial handling protocols in high-risk environments.
