Heavy downpour: Two sisters killed in Ogun building collapse

The family of Ayanshina is grieving after a tragic incident in Ojodu Abiodun, Ogun State, where their building collapsed during heavy rainfall, resulting in the untimely death of their two daughters, 16-year-old Suliyat and 25-year-old Nofisat.

The sisters were inside the building when the downpour began, and it took some time for neighbors to rescue them from the wreckage. Despite their efforts to rush the injured sisters to a nearby hospital, Tomade Hospital, both Suliyat and Nofisat were pronounced dead by a doctor on duty.

An eyewitness from the community, speaking anonymously, said collective efforts were made by residents to save the victims from the rubble.
