A telecom mast has caused significant destruction, demolishing a multi-million naira property and injuring multiple people after it collapsed on a house located in Ogun State.
The tragic incident was brought to public attention through a post shared on the widely used social media platform, X (formerly known as Twitter), by a well-known source who provided initial details about the occurrence.
According to the information shared, the telecom mast fell in a residential area of Ogun State, Nigeria, striking a house and causing extensive damage.
