Who Is Abdul Ghafoor?
Abdul Ghafoor is a migrant worker in UAE. Recently, he has been in the news because one of his videos went on various social media platforms.
He is originally from Pakistan. He works as a delivery boy for the UAE food firm Talabat. He is currently 27 years old.

His Viral Video Explained
Last Monday, Abdul Ghafoor raced to remove two large concrete blocks from Al Quoz, as described in a Khaleej Times article. He then placed them in a secure location before getting back on his bike.
Abdul Hakeem, who was on his way to deliver a package that day, was waiting at the junction when he realized how dangerous the falling bricks were. He has previously said to Khaleej Times,
I saw the blocks but didn’t really think much of it.
He added,
As I waited, a taxi went over the block and the driver almost lost control of his car. That is when I realised that it could cause a major accident. To be honest, I didn’t think I was doing anything special.
He went on to say,
I was just making sure no one would get hurt. If God forbid, one of our riders hit it, it could even cause death. That is why I acted quickly.
Soon after doing this, he promptly went to fulfil his order.
