His voice was weak, but his words carried the weight of pain, betrayal, and despair. Sitting on a mat in a small, one-room apartment somewhere in Lagos, 39-year-old Ayodeji Moses -Ojo fought to hold back tears as he struggled to speak through a fractured jaw that had refused to heal.
Until four months ago, Ayodeji was a healthy, hardworking father of two. He worked with an outdoor advertising agency based in the Lekki area of Lagos. Today, he bears the scars of a tragic workplace accident that has not only left his body shattered but also exposed the silent suffering of many blue-collar workers abandoned by the very companies they serve.
Day everything changed
June 18, 2025, began like every other workday. He had kissed his wife and two little boys goodbye before leaving home for what was supposed to be a routine installation job . But before noon, tragedy struck. An electric surge from a high-tension cable tore through his body as he worked on a billboard along Agege road, throwing him off the billboard. He landed on the busy Agege road with a thud, unconscious, badly burnt, and bleeding.

By the time he was rushed to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital LASUTH, doctors reportedly found multiple fractures , his jaw, arms, and legs were broken. His skin was burned in several places, leaving him hovering between life and death.
At first, there was hope. According to him, his employer had promised to take full responsibility for his medical bills, which were estimated to cost over ¦ 10 million. But that promise, like many made to struggling workers, was short-lived, he alleged.
“I was rushed to the hospital after the accident,” Ayodeji began, his words coming slowly, each syllable strained through swollen jaws and laboured breath. He spoke in short, painful bursts, pausing often as though every word cost him strength.
Continuing, he said: “At first, my boss promised to take care of the bills. But after some time, he said he would only spend ¦ 3 million, whether I got better or not. He told me that once the ¦ 3 million was finished, he would not pay a kobo more.”
He swallowed hard, his jaw tightening from the effort, before continuing in a faint voice laced with pain:” When the money ran out, he stopped calling. He stopped caring. Since then, I have been left to struggle on my own. I have spent everything I ever had — my savings, my wife’s small business money, and the little contributions from friends, family, and people who felt pity for me. Now, I have nothing left.”
