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.
