Three teenagers were on Friday crushed to death when a building,
located along Ashimota Street in Benin, collapsed.

The children, two boys and a girl, aged 15, seven and nine, were said to have gone to the building on Friday to repair a bicycle when a section of the building collapsed and killed them instantly.

Metro gathered that the male victims, identified as Junior and Martins, were the children of a sports chief in the state, while the girl
was a house help.

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, Edo State
Command, Noble Uwoh, said the incident was brought to notice of the police by the landlord of the building.

Uwoh, however, told Metro that although two of the victims were of
the same parents, the identities of their parent were unknown at the time of filing in the report.

“Two males and one female died; one 15, one nine, one seven.

“There are two people of the same parents.

“But the details of their father is not well known to me,” he said.
