A 70-year-old mechanic at the Agidingbi Mechanic Village, Alhaji Kamorudeen, alias Ko Ma Roll, has been crushed to death by the car he was repairing.

Members of the Lagos Motor Mechanic and Technicians Association, Monday, stormed his residence to pay their last respect. A member of the association, who spoke on condition of anonymity, denied that the mechanic was crushed to death by the car he was repairing. 'He is one of the elders of our association. He died after a brief illness," he confirmed.
Another source in the mechanic village said two deaths have been recorded so far in the village this week. The source, who also craved anonymity, said: 'From what I saw, the man was already dead. There was blood at the scene where he was repairing the car. They have to carry away his lifeless body quickly. His death led to the hurried closure of the village."
