“Unfortunately, it rained heavily on that day. So, I was unable to meet them as planned.” Unknown to Oluwaseyi, that was the last time he would see his children alive.
He said, “Around 2pm, while I was still in the church, I received a call from the same number, which my wife had earlier used, that she and my children were involved in an auto accident on Apapa Road.
