A construction worker has been reportedly killed in a gruesome way at the construction site of the proposed ultra-modern state secretariat in Enugu, when an expatriate working with a construction company, allegedly threw him down from the fourth floor of one of the buildings located near the State Police Command Headquarters.
Sources revealed that the expatriate who is from one of the Arab speaking countries, allegedly pushed the deceased down from the building at about 11.30am.
A source told Thisday that the expatriate, whom is feared by many in the company over his brutality, pushed the deceased down after their disagreement on how a particular work should be done at the site.
According to sources, two workers at the site had reportedly lost their lives in similar circumstance last December, prompting workers of the company to attempt lynching the expatriate, but the police intervened swiftly and took him away apparently for protective custody.
Details of the incident are still sketchy as at press time, but sources say the work has stopped at the site.
