In a tragic incident at KAM Steel Integrated Company along the Sagamu-Ogijo Expressway in Ogun State, a 27-year-old worker, Yahaya Ibrahim, lost his life after an accident involving an engine roller. The incident occurred early Sunday morning at around 4:50 am.

Yahaya Ibrahim was operating the engine roller when he suddenly slipped and fell onto the machine. Despite immediate efforts by his colleagues to rescue him, the roller tragically crushed him to death.

The Ogun State Police Command confirmed the incident during a phone conversation with PUNCH Online. The command’s spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, stated that the deceased’s body has been transported to the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH) morgue in Sagamu. “Our men on traffic inspection visited the scene when we received a distress call. It was an industrial accident. The body has been deposited at the OOUTH morgue in Sagamu,” Odutola stated.

This incident underscores the critical importance of stringent safety measures and protocols in industrial environments. Continuous training and rigorous adherence to safety guidelines are essential to protect workers from accidents and fatalities.
