“It was too early, she was only 30 yrs old and just wanted to take a nap in her room. Who would’ve predicted something this tragic. The water tank tear through the roof and fell right on top of her. The impact must have caused major internal injuries and bl£eding. She was still in her sleep, trapped, unable to move or scream for help. It was too early, she was not ready. May her soul rest in peace.”

Reactions as lady dies in Lekki, Lagos
@davidoghe said:
“You can’t be too careful in this country, stay your lane, mind your business etc look at it, see someone that was sleeping and in her own comfort, death still came to take her all bcus of some carelessness of another greedy human, now a life has been lost and nobody will be charged for it, there will be no justice.”
@LadyGrasha said:
“I couldn’t bring myself to watch the videos because I can’t take it. It’s a painful way to die; worst of all, out of carelessness due to either weak building materials or planning. Now I understand why my pops insists no tank should be directly above any room. He made sure it’s just towards the dining table and most importantly, where no one sits. I never in my life thought I’ll see something like this happen. This is tragic.”
@efe_edwards said:
“I just don’t know why people like to cut corners in everything. I’m sure they told the landlord the price for a solid tank platform but he probably chose the cheaper one to save money. Now someone’s life has been taken out of gross negligence. I hope the family brings a civil case against the landlord. I know it will not bring her back, put it will cause the landlord to think about his poor choices.”
