A middle aged man simply identified as Fatai yesterday fell off a moving elevator at the WAEC office Yaba where he had gone to help a relative retrieve some documents.
The deceased who was going to the 8th floor had gotten onto the “malfunctioning” elevator to hasten his journey instead of using the stairs; he had no reason to think anything would go wrong since officials of the foremost examining body did not put any sign to warn users that the elevator was out not functioning properly.
According to hypothesis, the elevator is said to have stopped mid way up and Fatai thinking he had reached the 8th floor stepped out into empty space , only to fall down and meet his untimely death.
WAEC officials have expressed regret over his death but according to reports, the family of the deceased have taken the matter to the police and might be suing WAEC for wrongful death.
