Basketmouth’s Wife Makes Case For Embattled Lekki Homes MD

Wife of the popular comedian, Elsie Okpocha, took to her instagram page to make a case for the embattled Managing Director of Lekki Homes, Richard Nyong.

Mr. Nyong, 34, was apprehended on Thursday, following the collapse of the building at Kushenla Road, Ikate Elegushi area of the state on Tuesday which killed 35 people

The building crumbled around 3am on Tuesday with several workers trapped in the rubble.

See what she wrote below:

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
