For the family of Nwachukwu from Mbaitoli-Ikeduru in Imo State, the end to a promising life of their 27-year-old son, Onyekachi Nwachukwu, the only child and the sole provider of an ailing single mother, came to an abrupt end on Wednesday, August 11 when he was crushed to death under a truck he was meant to fix in a Chinese company in Ikeja, Lagos.

Sources at the company, Perfection Motor Limited in Ikeja, Lagos, told The Nigerian Xpress that Onyeka, who is a mechanic at the company, died of neglect by the company.

One of the sources, who spoke to our reporter on the condition of anonymity, said it took the company management over an hour after the accident occurred before Onyekachi was taken to the hospital.

Nigerians need to start on an individual level to demand better working conditions.

This idea that we can do things In a haphazard manner due to high unemployment is wrong.

Obviously, this guy was repairing a truck which might have been improperly jacked.

But because of it's work, and they might sack him. He went under tonnes of steel with just vibes and blood of Jesus.

Heaven helps those that help themselves.
Let's take workplace safety serious

RIP

May you fly high to Mars!

You're absolutely right.

SAFETY FIRST! SAFETY FIRST! SAFETY FIRST!

Doesn’t the company have Health & Safety Policy? Who ensures that no unsafe practices are carried out in the company premises?

A good lawyer should should just rise to the occasion on behalf of the family. The company should be sued and dragged very well over this case!!!
