“This will hurt forever” – Actress Zainab Balogun loses cousin in collapsed Ikoyi building

Nigerian Actress Zainab Balogun has mourned her cousin, Samuel Iwelu, who died in the collapsed 21-storey building in Ikoyi, Lagos.

The body of the UK returnee was retrieved from the rubble of the collapsed bulding and confirmed dead.

Before now, Samuel’s sister, Ann Iwelu, had shared the last video he made while entering the structure on Monday, November 1.

In the video, Samuel looked so happy as he drove into the compound. He complained about the heat in Nigeria and how the air conditioner in the car wasn’t cooling due to the hot temperature in Lagos.

Samuel, 35, was said to have come to Nigeria from the UK for a wedding in Abuja. There he met the developer, his friend who told him of a massive structure he was constructing in Lagos. They flew to Lagos to see the construction. Sadly, that was the last time anyone heard from him.
