Tuesday, December 10, 2024 -A female sweeper, Anna Zadabin, has been reported dead after a high-voltage electrical wire fell on her in Abuja.
Zadabin, who lives in Dutsen-Alhaji in the FCT, was said to be
working with other colleagues near the Open University Centre, along the
Abuja-Kubwa expressway, around 1pm on Friday, Dec. 6, when tragedy struck.
One of her relatives, who simply gave her name as Hajara, told Abuja
Metro yesterday that the corpse of the deceased was earlier deposited at the
Kubwa General Hospital’s morgue before it was retrieved and buried in her
family compound.
She said, “That was the wish of the deceased, that she should be
buried on the day she passed on.”
She further explained that the deceased used to work from 6am and close by 3pm
on a daily basis.
“Some of them used to start the street cleaning from the Dutsen-Alhaji
gate and move down to the expressway.
‘’Her schedule of duty often started from a billboard along the expressway to
the Phase 2 area, and thereafter she would cross to the other lane, to repeat
the same thing, as her daily work.’’
The District Head of the Dutsen-Alhaji, Alhaji Abubakar Bako, confirmed
the incident.
