LASTMA official dies on duty
An official of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, who slumped on active duty around Ishaga Road in the Idi-Araba, Mushin area on Saturday is dead.
The deceased, whose identity was given as Kazeem Lawal, died on his way to Randle Hospital, Surulere, where he was being rushed to after he collapsed.
It was gathered that Lawal was attached to LASTMA Zone 3, Iponri.
One of his colleagues who does not want his name in print told newsmen that the late official, “was initially taken to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, but he could not be attended to because of the ongoing strike action. He was then rushed to the Randle Hospital where he was confirmed dead.
“We do not have any insurance policy. We do not have any hazard allowance. It is very painful.
“His family members are in disarray at present. We work round the clock, and we are usually overwhelmed. He must have collapsed from accumulated stress.
“Since the government sacked some LASTMA workers last year, there has been a burden on the workforce. Work posts, where seven personnel were handling, have been reduced to one or two.”
LASTMA officials, policemen and National Union of Transport Workers besieged the hospital on Sunday to sympathize with the bereaved family.

“The whole thing happened so fast and so shocking. By the time they took him to the Randle Hospital, he had died,” another LASTMA official said.
