A man, who claims to be one of the bricklayers at the building site when it collapsed, has shared the heartwarming story of how he walked out of the rubbles without a scratch.
The man, who identified himself as Mr. Dike Ikenna, shared his testimony during a service at Living Faith Church, Ota, Ogun state, on Sunday April 16,
Recounting the incident, he said,
“I thank God for his mercies. I usually anoint myself every day before going out to work and this very day, I did likewise.
“I was on the 7th floor when It happened. I was taping the floor when I heard a deafening noise. One side of the building collapsed first. I just said God, you didn’t tell me I will die this way or this was how I will end my life.
“One of my colleagues was with me. We were struggling to get out of the building. But we could not jump, we could not run out. I was only shouting Jesus. I found myself on the ground. But nothing hit me. I was covered in dust.”
