Bus Driver dies in collapsed pit latrine

  Tragedy befell the residents of No 7 Alimotu Sadia street, Cele, Lagos when one of the occupants of the house, Mr. Mutiu Owo fell inside a pit latrine and died yesterday morning
The deceased was a commercial bus driver plying Ikeja-Obalende route, Lagos State.
Narrating the incident, his neighbour Prophet Soji Ademuyiwa of Celestial Church Ogudu Parish, Lagos said the driver, an indigene of Ekiti State, fell inside the pit latrine in an attempt to ease himself in the early hours of yesterday morning. The driver was said to have sank because of the heavy rainfall at that time.
The prophet said the driver who was a father of two, wanted to take his bath but when he found out that a co-tenant was bathing, he went to ease himself in another toilet, which was dilapidated.
The tenants of the house where the incident occurred claimed that they had complained about the life threatening state of their house and latrine to their landlady, who lives outside the neighbourhood but all pressure to make her fix it and make it habitable was met with brick walls as she kept postponing the repairs.
It was also gathered that the condition of the toilet worsened this morning after the heavy rain.
The house of Owoh was besieged by neighbours and sympathisers, as they troop in to console the widowed wife, who sells fruits at Alade Market, Ikeja Lagos, while the remains of the driver has been removed from the latrine
