He stated that the safety officer had reported that, on the same day, at approximately 3:15 p.m., contract employees affiliated with the company’s AOD Section allegedly ran to the iron melting pot, which was restricted to all employees while it was in operation.
“He jumped into it and all efforts made by his colleagues to stop him proved abortive, while his body was completely melted.
“Detectives from the station visited the scene of the crime. The family of the deceased has since been contacted, while investigation is ongoing,” Hundeyin said.
