Local government workers in Agbado/Oke-Odo Local Council Development Area (LCDA) have been gripped with fear following the death of the Executive Chairman, Augustine Adeoye Arogundade.
His death comes exactly 10 days after the council lost its Secretary to the Local Government (SLG), Alhaja Ayilara.
A worker of the LCDA who spoke under the condition of anonymity over fear of backlash called for a thorough investigation into the deaths.
According to her, "sudden deaths at this period, especially 10 days after we lost Alhaja is a very suspicious one. People die, we all know that, but I think the government needs to focus on Agbado/Oke-Odo LCDA.
"I don't know to say it but where the news broke today, I have received over four calls from other workers who are already scared. You know the world is fighting coronavirus and that is where most people are thinking along.
"One of the callers specifically said that workers in the LCDA should go for coronavirus test and there seems to be fire on the mountain."
AllNews also spoke with another worker, Shade (Not real name) who shared the same opinion with her colleague.
She maintained that if something is not done on time to unravel the sudden deaths, she, along with some colleagues, would call in sick as to avoid going to the office.
A male worker, who described himself as 'closer to the late chairman', disclosed that he would probably self-isolate as he is a family man who would not want to endanger his family.
When asked if he was certain about the cause of the recent deaths, he said he was only taking 'precautions' and he wouldn't want his name in print.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Conference of Local Government and Local Council Development Area Chairmen, Conference 57 has reacted to the death of the Chairman.
In a statement signed by the Chairman, Conference 57, Lagos State, Hon Mrs Omolola Essien, the body described the death as a 'sad incident', while sending prayers to his family.
