Ikoyi Building Collapse: “How God Saved My Life”- Bricklayer Reveals How He Escaped Death

Innocent Amos Denavide, a bricklayer who was among those working in the 21-storey building that collapsed on Gerard Road, Ikoyi area of Lagos, has revealed how he escaped death.

The man said he was working on the 12th floor of the building but stepped out to order for more plaster and sand because they exhausted their supply.

In his words:

“I was working on floor number 12. I just stepped out to order for more plaster sand so we can continue our work cos we have exhausted the one give us in the morning. I was standing not far from the pillar that gave the cracking sound.

“I ran immediately away while the building came down. Still nursing my right ankle. Didn’t know what happened to me there. It’s affecting my right thigh as well. But I’m fine.”

“God spared my life. Thank you Jesus.”
