Two sisters have been killed after a building owned by their family in Ojodu Abiodun Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State collapsed.
16-year-old Suliyat and her 25-year-old elder sister, Nofisat, were trapped after the building collapsed due to a mudslide that followed a downpour.
Punch reported that it took some time for neighbours to free the sisters who were hurt and trapped within the collapsed structure. As soon as they were pulled out from the wreckage, the residents rushed both injured sisters to a close by Hospital. Suliyat and Nofisat were unfortunately confirmed dead by a doctor on duty.
A source said;
“The sisters were inside the house when the incident happened. We all jointly made efforts to rescue them from the wreckage. We immediately took them to the hospital. It’s so sad that we lost them.”
The state Public Relations Officer, Odutola Omolola, who confirmed the incident, said the family insisted that the victims be buried immediately.
