At exactly 2:48am, I heard a big sound and I was scared. Only to discover that my neighbor’s apartment fell on her while she was sleeping. This happened in agungi,lekki. We have been complaining about the house shaking to the landlord but she has always ignored our complaint . How my neighbor survived this is only a miracle. Thank God no life was lost.
