A Nigerian graduate who worked as a bricklayer due to the condition of the country has narrated how he escaped death following the collapse of the 21-storey building in Ikoyi, Lagos.

The man stated that he barely escaped the Gerrard Terraces building as it collapsed.

Innocent Amos, a graduate who works as a bricklayer, said he was working on the 12th floor and had just stepped out to get more plaster to continue working.

He says he then noticed a “cracking sound” while standing close to a pillar and he quickly ran away as the 21-storey building came down in a heap, burying scores.

Another mam named Dougha Jude also took to Twitter to reveal that he was working in the building and left moments before it collapsed.
