A middle-aged bricklayer, Mr. Timothy Olubunmi, died on Monday afternoon,
when he fell from the upper floor of an uncompleted storey building
after getting drunk.
It was learnt that Olubunmi was one of the bricklayers working at the ongoing modern market in Ibafo, Ogun State.
It was gathered that the
deceased, who was around 49, had gone to celebrate the Sallah break with
his friends, and had got drunk in the process.
According to eyewitnesses, Olubunmi, had
fallen from one of the uncompleted buildings in the market, and died
when he landed on his neck.
A resident, who gave his name as Samuel, said the sad
event took all of them by surprise as they still saw the deceased when
he came to work in the morning.

He said, “We saw Timothy in the morning
when nothing was wrong with him. In fact, he had come to work before he
left to enjoy the celebration with his friends. The incident happened on
Monday afternoon when he returned from the celebration. He fell from a
one-storey building in the market where he was both a bricklayer and a
supervisor.
“Some of the eyewitnesses said he had
become drunk and this was noticed in the way he was talking. Shortly
after he headed for the building, we heard that he fell and landed on
the ground on his neck.”
Another resident, who begged for
anonymity, added that before Olubunmi, who was father of two children,
could be rushed to a nearby hospital for attention, he had died.
