One person has reportedly died and three others are seriously injured on Wednesday as one of the Cocoa House elevators crashed while some technicians were working on it.
Penangle.com reliably gathered that the faulty elevator collapsed while about four technicians were working to restore it for the use of staff members of Odua Investment Company Limited and other Cocoa House tenants, killing one person instantly.
Two other persons broke their arms while another person broke his legs during the accident. They have been taken to hospital for immediate medical attention.
Efforts to reach management of Odua Investment Company Limited, the manager of the historic edifice proved abortive as the phone number of the company’s spokesperson was switched off.
However, a source who crave anonymity hinted penangle.com that the management of the company promised to speak with journalists very soon.
