Tragedy struck on Monday at the Iganmu office of the Golden Penny Flour Mills Plc. in Lagos State after an explosion erupted from a boiler at the production section of the company and killed a worker, Folorunso Odunayo.

It was gathered that the deceased worked at the engine room of the firm. Hot water contained in the boiler was said to have spilled on the worker after it reportedly exploded. The worker died on the spot.

PUNCH Metro gathered that officials of the Lagos State Fire Service, Iganmu branch, who were alerted to the incident, took the corpse away.

When contacted the company’s Secretary/Director, Alhaji Olalekan Saliu, said, “I am not in Lagos.”

However, the company Learning Administrator, Mrs. Nike Adekoya-Saani, confirmed the incident, adding that she had yet to get the details.

“It happened at our Iganmu branch office. I was just informed this evening. I don’t have the full details,” she said.

The Director of the fire service, Mr. Rasaq Fadipe, said, “We received a call that there was an explosion at the Golden Penny Flour Mills at Eric More, Iganmu.

It claimed the life of a man working inside then engine room. We handed the corpse to the police.”

R.I.P. to the dead.
Condolence to the company and family.

This is bad. R.I.P

When contacted the company’s Secretary/Director, Alhaji Olalekan Saliu, said, “I am not in Lagos.”

Well a better response should do..R.I.P 2 d deceased

While I condole with the family of the dead man. I strongly kick against the unsafe acts and industrial practices in Nigeria. When the body to check all such things go about from one company to the other collecting money and gift items. In my first place of work a moulding machine kills a boy and to top it all another chiller pieced the fingers of the technician. We work without safety boots,helment or gloves......we were told that safety agency where coming for inspection,only for me to see them sitted in the canteen chatting with the managers. The never entered the production sites.
I resigned because of lack of safety precautions.
There is even no insurance cover neither is there any law that is active to purnish any company that engages in things like this.
What we have here is slavery.........all thanks to lack of job.
To be sincere,our problem in nigeria is too much to only be corruption. The system is bastardized by us .

wish someone can take this matter up and make sure the company compensate the deceased family.

RIP to d dead

I hope the company doesnt act in anyway related to the op's monicker

E joooooor o. We no want bomb and explosion for South west o

rip

RIP. To does talking about compensation, would that bring back the dead? Let's force this company using labour union to improve on their safety tips. If not, we'll come back here next time & write RIP to the dead as if it's a pleasant greeting. Lord save our soul!

Their engineers should be queried. The reason there are high pressure sensing devices is this.
