Dangote truck driver crushes own conductor to death after he slept under his truck.

Dangote Cement driver identified as Ajani Yekini, crushed his own conductor, Mojeed Jubril, to death at Lekki-Epe Expressway.
It was learnt that Jubril had slept under the truck before Yekini mounted the steering and drove off.
He was said to have climbed on his head, killing Jubril on the spot.

Policemen from the Elemoro division were said to have arrived to remove the corpse at the Frajend Coy end of the Lekki-Epe Expressway, where the incident happened.

A senior official of the Federal Road Safety Corps, Azubuike Onyemeh, said the conductor was killed around 10.30am.
