One Mr. Abu Abubakar, has been detained by the police for reporting the death of one of the workers in his snacks factory.The worker, identified simply as Ikechukwu, had slumped and died at about 6.30am on Monday while heading for a bathroom in the factory.  Ike, as he was fondly called, became unconscious immediately he fell and was rushed by co-workers to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja. He reportedly died on the way.

Punch newspaper reports that Abubakar had headed for the Ikeja police division to obtain a police report so that the corpse could be taken to a morgue only to be detained.

One of the workers and eyewitness who spoke to the newspaper  explained that the deceased, who was about 23 years old, had attended a party the previous day.He said, “Ike was loved by everyone, but he liked to party. He was both working and living in the factory. On Sunday, he returned late from a party. In the morning at about 6am, he was going to have his bath when we learnt that he fell.

“We rushed him to a hospital, but he died on the way. When the manager came to report the incident to the police, he was detained. He has not been released since then. That is why we came here to demand his release.

“Ike’s corpse is still in the Keke Marwa (tricycle) that we used to rush him to LASUTH. Nobody knows what to do. The police have not said anything.” he said
