20-year-old Man Killed By Neighbour’s Tank In Lagos

An admission seeker identified as Jamal Nureni met his death while sleeping as a water tank belonging to a neighbour fell from its stand and crashed into his bedroom and crushing his head in the process, on Saturday, June 17, 2023.

 

The incident happened on Alhaji Kazeem Street, Ikotun-Egbe area of Lagos, where 20-year-old Jamal lived with his grandmother, Alhaja Yemisi Odejinmi.

 

“It is a fence separating my house and that of my neighbours. I have been living here for over 40 years. Whenever they pump water and their tank is full, it spills into my compound.

 

I have talked to them several times, but they didn’t change and because we are all from the same town (Abeokuta), I decide to let go and always sweep the water.

I was in the bathroom around 6.30am when I heard a loud sound. I never knew it was in my room. The tank fell from our neighbour’s compound and crashed into the room where my grandson slept. It crushed his head.
