According to her, preliminary findings indicate that an overheated metal refuse container activated under intense heat, exploded, and injured two of the refuse evacuators.
She said the affected refuse evacuators were currently receiving medical attention at Maitama General Hospital.
Adeh urged the public to exercise caution and refrain from using metal refuse bins.
She advocated the use of plastic or rubber containers for waste disposal, as they pose a reduced risk of being overheated.
