Published

on

 

A tragic event has struck the Ayanshina family in Ojodu Abiodun, located in the Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State.

 

On a fateful Saturday, a building owned by the family collapsed, claiming the lives of their two beloved daughters. The heartbreaking incident was attributed to a mudslide triggered by heavy rainfall.

 

Within the ill-fated structure were 16-year-old Suliyat and her 25-year-old elder sister, Nofisat, who became trapped as the downpour began. Tragically, the building collapsed, resulting in the loss of their lives.

 

It was further learned that it was a challenging ordeal for neighbors as they worked tirelessly to free the injured and trapped sisters from the rubble of the collapsed building.

 

Once successfully rescued, the residents wasted no time and promptly rushed both injured sisters to Tomade Hospital, located in Ojodu Abiodun, which happened to be in close proximity to the tragic incident.

 

Tragically, despite the prompt efforts and swift response, both Suliyat and Nofisat were confirmed dead by a doctor on duty at Tomade Hospital.

 

An eyewitness, who resides in the community and wished to remain anonymous due to a lack of authorization to speak on behalf of the family, revealed that the incident caught everyone by surprise.

 

The witness noted that the community rallied together, doing everything within their power to rescue both victims from the wreckage.

 

The 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.”

 

Following the incident’s report to the police, the grieving family made an adamant request for their deceased loved ones to be laid to rest in accordance with Islamic customs and traditions.

 

The state Public Relations Officer, Odutola Omolola, confirmed the tragic incident and the family’s unwavering stance on immediate burial for the victims.
