Emotion ran pretty high, Wednesday, evening, at the Gboko plant of the Dangote Cement, when an explosion allegedly claimed the live of a father of two and labourer at the factory, one Mr. Solomon Ashir. In accordance with an eyewitness, the deceased was hit by limestone from the quarry site of the plant which led to his instant death before medical attention could reach him, adding that the incident sparked angry reaction from his colleagues and youths of the host community who barricaded the factory and Makurdi-Gboko road with bonfire in protest against alleged poor safety measures in the plant.
