Company Machine Kills Female Worker Five Days After Employment

Barely five days after she was employed, Miss Happiness Okon, a machine operator at IMPCO Company Limited on Fatai Atere Road, Mushin, Lagos, has been killed by the firm’s plastic moulding machine.

The 21-year-old girl came to Lagos in the last quarter of 2011 to work to raise money to pursue her long time ambition of studying Theatre Arts at university.

But her ambition was cut short when on January 23, 2012, Okon went to work but never returned. She was allegedly killed by the company’s moulding machine.

Her death on the fateful day has led to a dispute between the family and the company.

The family insisted that the company was economical with the truth about the real cause of the girl’s death.

The girl’s uncle, Mr. Effiong Nyah, told Metro that there was no iota of truth in the company’s claim that the girl walked into a machine and died in the process.

The death toll in the trouble spots of Nigeria is alarming and like a virus, it slowly and steadily sips into the other parts of Nigeria.We shook our heads and gave off a little Eeyah every now and then whenever we heard of the babies, young graduates and married couples dismembered and slaughtered, laying in a pool of their own blood. Some of us resigned ourselves to our lofty beliefs that it was in a far away country this devastation occurred.That was until they felt their blood spill onto those troubled sands...when they lost a husband, a brother, a daughter, a dear friend......to what is nothing more than... ...a MINDLESS WAR!!!
