Mansard Insurance plc has settled the accident claim of an electrical engineer, Mr. Ameh Thaddeus Adiga who lost a finger in an industrial accident.

In a statement, the company said Adiga was on duty at a food processing company in Kano when the accident happened.
Adiga said “After repairing a granulating machine, it started up by itself and my right hand was on the machine and it cut off my finger. My right hand finger is cut off i.e. the third finger.”

Adiga was rushed to Murtala Mohammed Specialist Hospital, Kano where he was treated for injuries sustained. It was in the course of the treatment that he notified Mansard Insurance and later sent in details of the accident as well as the medical and police reports.

The necessary processing was done and an elated Adiga has this to say upon receiving his claims settlement, “In fact, it is such a mystery for Nigerians to have such opportunity. I am so excited and joyful having this claim a reality because as I am speaking now, I am financially uplifted and revived, thanks to MTN and Mansard insurance.”

Adiga had subscribed to the MTN Y’ello Cover in October 2013. He had the accident in January 2014 and sent in claims substantiating documents in March; he received compensation payment just four days afterwards.
