Basketmouth’s wife defend embattled Lekki Homes MD, Richard Nyong over collapsed building

Wife of Nigeria ace Comedian Basketmouth, Elsie Okpocha has come out to defend embattled Lekki Homes MD, Richard Nyong over the building that collapsed in Lekki and killed about 35 persons.

Read what she took to her instagram to write:

His name is Richard Nyong,the managing Director of Lekki Gardens,the construction company in charge of the 5-storey building which collapsed on Tuesday…… many of us right now would go with the information d media gives….but then, that is the much they know….the truth some of us know and are very sure of is that

Richard’s best friend was put in charge of this said project but he did a very bad job so it was taken away from him and given to another contractor to handle….

This particular building was already marked as defective because of the sub-standard materials that were used

Richard had even signed a contract with another company to repair it

But it was so unfortunate that the labourers had made the place their home since they had nowhere to live and this was definitely against the company’s policy.

Labourers were supposed to leave the site at 6pm and resume at 8am, this building collapsed at 3am

The truth needs to be told and heard, pls let Justice be done appropriately, this man right here is innocent.

….and may the Souls of the departed rest in peace
