Woman killed by generating set

Jimoh Street in Egbeda area of Lagos was thrown into confusion on Thursday evening when a generating set killed a woman (name unknown). According to an eyewitness, who identified himself as Taiwo Oladeji, the generating set, which was on, caught the hem of the woman’s clothing, clung to her dress, lifted her up and rolled her down, leading to her death.
“The woman is a supplier who came to supply goods to people in the neighbourhood. I don’t know what made her go near the generating set. She was close to the lister forgetting that her dress was close to the flywheel. The flywheel held her dress, rolled her up and killed her instantly.
“That is the car she came with to supply goods to her customer. We just discovered that the generating set stopped working suddenly. It was when people came back that we saw that the generating set had killed the woman. How it cut her head into two and broke her skull is still a mystery,” he said.
Another man, who refused to disclose his name, said it was not a generating set that killed the woman, but a machine used for grinding food items. “I wonder why they are saying it is a Lister generating set that killed her. It is not true.
