How wall crushed my three-year-old son to death – Gombe mother

Fatima Ibrahim of Anguwa Wakili Mazara, Bajoga, in the Funakaye Local Government Area of Gombe State, tellsabout the pain of losing her last child to devastating effects of a heavy rainfall on July 30, 2022I’m a 30-year-old petty trader. I sell tomatoes. I’m the mother of the three-year-old boy that died when a mud house collapsed due to a flood in Bajoga.I used to have six children but with my current loss, I now have five of them.

It was during this rainy season that I saw a visible crack on the building but prior to that, there was nothing wrong with the mud building. We never imagined that it would get to the extent of collapsing that soon. As you know, there is no way we would have been comfortable residing in a building that would constitute a risk to us.Yes, we did. We first went to the General Hospital, Bajoga, and that was where we admitted them. When we got to the hospital, it was confirmed that he was lifeless.

I will be very grateful if the state government, under Governor Inuwa Yahaya, can come to our aid. No amount will bring back our son, but we will be happy with whatever they can do to assist us as it will go a long way to reduce our pain. I wish to appeal to the state governor to assist us in paying the bills of Hussaina, late Babangida’s sister, whose fate is in the balance due to the way she fell with her head. Raising the amount requested by the Bauchi hospital authorities has not been easy.

So sorry 😞

Pitiful! Too much collapse of walls and buildings in this country.

This is a saddenjng experience for a mother to lose her son in such manner. 😰
