PHOTOS: MAN CRUSHED TO DEATH IN LAGOS

So sad. A man identified as Adeolu Adeleke popularly called Baba Ibeji (father of twins) was killed yesterday, Friday, May 10 in Marina, Lagos, after a mast which fell off a 2-storey building landed on him, crushing him to death. According to eye witnesses, the deceased who sold telephone accessories in Marina met his untimely death when he dashed across Marina Street to fetch a waterproof cover for his goods as it was about to rain but was crushed by the mast as he made his way back to his shade.

One of the people who witnessed the incident and a very close friend of the deceased said Adeleke was warned not to enter the rain because of the strong wind but he refused. “I told him to forget about the goods since the wind was blowing strongly, but he said he would hurry down there quickly not knowing that he will not return,” he said.

Sympathizers thronged Marina Car Park, Lagos Island, where the communication mast crashed on the 52-year-old, killing him instantly. See pics of the deceased after the cut but VIEWER'S DISCRETION IS ADVISED...
