An air conditioning and refrigerator repairer, simply identified as Najeem, died after falling from a ladder while working at a residence in Ifo Local Government area of the Ogun State.
Najeem, who reportedly lost his balance while climbing the ladder, fell off and smashed his head on the concrete floor.
Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, confirmed the incident, saying the AC repairer “bled profusely and died immediately.”
Odutola noted that the occupant of the house, Abraham Popoola, reported the incident to the command at about on Friday night.
“On December 13, 2024, around 9 PM, Abraham Popoola, a resident of Adams Ajakaya Street, Olambe Junction, Ogun State, reported an incident involving Najeem, a 60-year-old air conditioning and refrigerator technician from Ikorodu, Lagos State.
“Najeem was working at Popoola’s residence, which is located in a building that is about two stories tall.
