There was panic at the Cocoa House at the Dugbe area of Ibadan on Wednesday as one of the lifts in the 25-storey building dropped during the installation.
The machine reportedly crashed on the engineering team at the basement pit as the accident resulted in the death of one of them, while three were injured.
The injured victims were reportedly taken to hospital, while the corpse was taken to a mortuary.
The development was said to have made many resort to using the stairs.
The Corporate Affairs Manager of Odua Investment Company Limited, Mr Victor Ayetoro, confirmed the incident to our correspondent on the telephone.
