A woman who went to work in Festac Town area of Lagos State since on Good Friday was found dead yesterday.
The spinster identified as simply Oluchi was said to have gone to work but did not return home the next day.
All efforts made by the family to know her whereabouts proved abortive until yesterday when the family discovered to their utter dismay that Oluchi was crushed by a truck conveying 40 feet container, at Otto Woff, along Oshodi- Apapa expressway. The container was said to have fallen, crushing the woman underneath.
A police sergeant attached to Ajegunle police station who spoke under the condition of anonymity said, “The family had been searching for Oluchi since on Saturday after the Good Friday.
They had gone to many places including hospitals, prisons, different police stations, among others. They even went to mortuaries but to avail. But today (Tuesday) there was a revelation that the woman would have been the person crushed by the 40 feet container.
The members of the family visited the Isolo General Hospital mortuary, where the corpse was deposited and were shocked to see their beloved crushed beyond recognition. They were also shown her clothes and the family wept profusely.
They said the spinster was a very good and obedient child.”
