It would be recalled that Richard Gbadebo, a 300-level student of the Department of European Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Ibadan, died in an industrial accident on Monday.

The 21-year-old Richard was said to have died after he fell into the factory’s soap-making machine. The deceased student was said to be on night shift. Nylon was said to have rolled round his hand and in the process of trying to detach himself, the nylon drew him into the machine, which was said to have crushed him.

The mild drama occurred, when officials of the Department of Pollution Monitoring and Quality Control of the ministry, led by Dr. Olanrewaju, got to the factory at Oluyole Estate Extension, to seal it to pave way for investigation.

It was learnt some of the workers resisted government’s move by holding them hostage for about 30 minutes, before the State Commissioner of Police, Nwachukwu Enwonwu, intervened and got them released.

Olanrewaju said: “The intention was to talk to them,  not necessarily to disgrace them, as they need to be producing under a very safe environment. It was also to investigate to know how it actually happened, with a view to preventing such in the future.

“But the management resisted our men, when we got there. We were held hostage. I was one of those held hostage.  We invited the police and we were rescued, when the police came. Immediately, we called the police and they rescued us.

“We are conducting investigation. After that, we will decide the next line of action to determine their culpability, whether the accident was preventable or  not preventable, whether they made some mistakes and how the mistakes could have been prevented…”
