A pregnant woman, Kafayat Somoye, and her five-year-old daughter, were on Thursday killed when a ramshackle building at Onifufu/Aderupaba compound in Oke-Ijeun area of Abeokuta, caved in on them.
A witness said the mother was taking her child, Ganiyat, and her brother, Ganiyu, to school, when a cracked wall of the building located near their home suddenly collapsed and fell on the duo. The wall of the over 70-year-old building killed the two before any help could reach them, witnesses said.
Neighbours said the mother was a petty trader, while the child attended Methodist Primary School, Ago-Oko, Abeokuta. Police arrived the scene at about 9am and removed the bodies to the hospital, as sympathizers who gathered, wept.
