Survivor recounts ordeal under Ikoyi collapsed building
A young man simply identified as Lateef has thanked God for surviving the horrific Ikoyi building collapse.
Recounting his horrendous experience under the debris, Lateef said he was in a bent position for several hours and became so weak that he nearly passed out.
He added, “There was a lighter with me. I turned it on and saw dead bodies everywhere. Bricks had fallen on some people and they were struggling to breathe.

It was a horrible way to die and I don’t wish it for my enemies. I was touching the heads of dead people. With this experience, I will never work in high-rise buildings again.”
According to report, it was observed that the impact of the building collapse affected Lateef’s left eye, chest, back and right leg.
The 32-year-old artisan said he never believed he could have another shot at life after he found himself trapped in the rubble.
“It was God’s mercy that I survived. I begged him for mercy because I thought the end had come. I had concluded that I would die and decided to say final prayers so that I would make heaven.”
