The dead body of an
unidentified man was, Monday, discovered at Alaba, along the Lagos-Badagry
Expressway. The deceased, said to have been staggering home after leaving a
drinking joint where local gin, popularly called paraga, is sold, reportedly
fell and hit his head on the pavement.
An eyewitness said the dying
man made attempts to call for help by repeatedly lifting his right hand, but
that no one made any effort to assist him. The incident, according to another
eyewitness, created panic as local gin vendors hurriedly closed for the day for
fear of being arrested in connection with the tragedy.
Report said when police-men
from Orile Division arrived the scene, the man was confirmed dead. We are
however not sure if the paraga sellers have begun their usual sales again.
