Shop owners and residents along Bariga
Road, Bajulaiye, Somolu, Lagos have been trying to locate the family of a
homeless old man who has been sleeping on a refuse dump in the area
since Saturday.
It was learnt that the aged man, whose name had yet to be known, had been lying
beside a dump on Bajulaiye canal, Somolu since Saturday afternoon.
When a reporter visited the area on Tuesday morning, the old man
looked gaunt and his hands shivered from what appeared to be the effect
of hunger and weakness.
Some shop
owners in the area said nobody knew the family or residence of the aged
man, adding that they had called the state emergency numbers to come and
remove the man. Is this man dead or still alive?
