Two female officials of the Lagos Waste Management Authority were on Monday knocked down by a vehicle around the Charlie Boy area inward Gbagada, Lagos State.
An eyewitness simply identified as Sodiq who spoke to our correspondent on the telephone said the two yet-to-be-identified women died on the spot.
He said, “It was a ghastly accident, two LAWMA women were just knocked down by a Sienna vehicle while they were carrying out their duty.
“We don’t know what was wrong with the driver, he just drove straight here and hit the two women. It is such a pity.
“The driver has been arrested and handed over to the police.”
Our correspondent further learnt that the development drew the ire of eyewitnesses who blocked the Gbagada-Oshodi Expressway, leading to a traffic jam on the route.
Motorists are commuters are said to be trapped in the traffic for hours.
Law enforcement agents are said to be having a hectic time controlling the situation.
