Homeless man sleeps on refuse for three days


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?
