“I too had a major knee injury, but thank God, no one was killed.”
“At around 9:30 a.m. this morning, during the church service, a huge storm slammed the church building, and before we knew what was going on, the entire church building fell.”
“Some were able to flee, but roughly six of us were seriously injured,” he said.
Tunde said medical attention was given to them, but they were not given proper treatment because no medical doctor was available at the hospital.
“Those that were seriously injured were taken to the General Hospital in Badagry for proper attention.
“Since my injury is not much, I decided to take care of myself,” he said.
