A 16 year old teenager, Faisa was killed by a mudslide in Lagos after a continuous rainfall. The teenager was killed in Agidingbi, Ikeja area of Lagos State, 2 weeks after her weeding. According to PUNCH Metro, she and her husband relocated to Lagos after they wedded in their village Goza, Borno State. The teenager was all by herself when the ugly incident occurred. Her corpse has been recovered by the officials of the State Environmental Monitoring Health, who responded to the distress call. PUNCH correspondent who visited the area gathered that the slum, which is on Dosumu Street, off Amara Olu Road, Agidingbi was inhabited by Borno State residents who left their homes to seek refuge from Boko Haram attacks. The slum popularly called Kurata, has about 100 people living in it. A resident of the area by name, Umaru Mate said the mudslide happened around 10am and about three shanties were destroyed too. Another resident Ibrahim Aliu lamented of how they paid N24,000 per annum as rent to some men who claimed to be working for the Lagos State Government. They are appealing to the government to come to their aid by getting them a better place of living.
