A man died in Lagos yesterday Friday 10th of May after he was crushed to death by a mast which fell off a 2-storey building.

Sympathizers thronged Marina Car Park, Lagos Island, where the communication mast crashed on the father of twins, 52-year-old Adeolu Adeleke, killing him instantly.

The deceased, popularly known as Baba Ibeji (Father of twins), according to eye witnesses and his colleagues who sell telephone accessories met his untimely death when he dashed across Marina Street to fetch a waterproof cover for his goods as it was about to rain but was crushed by the mast as he made his way back to his shade.

One of the people who witnessed the incident and a very close friend of the deceased said Adeleke, also known as Baba Ibeji, was warned not to enter the rain because of the strong wind but he refused.

“I told him to forget about the goods since the wind was blowing strongly, but he said he would hurry down there quickly not knowing that he will not return,” he said......
