A woman has died after a water tank fell and crushed her in the night.
Cynthia Chizoba Oguzie was sleeping at home when the structure broke and crashed through the ceiling.
The 30-year-old’s brother, Chukwuebuka Nathaniel Kanayochukwu, has since taken to Facebook and shared videos of the tragic incident.

In one video shared on 6 April, which garnered 742,000 views, the metal structure which held the water tank can be seen.
The framework appears to be damaged as it looks directly above the room where Cythia slept.
In other clips, her room had been visibly destroyed by the water tank, with debris covering the space.
The water tank fell directly on Cynthia, who was described as a “beloved daughter, sister, aunt, and favourite mother”.
Her brother has blamed the person responsible for installing the water tank, as reported by Need To Know.
In his emotional post online, he warned others to be careful.
“Beware of Llekki’s building and their water stands, this is how they sent my sister to her early grave,” Chukwuebuka said.
“Thank you, so-called Lekki landlord and your engineer, for doing this type of water stand.
“The landlord said he is not in Nigeria, and that it’s the engineer who builds all the houses and sends him the pictures and the videos.
“This is how the story ended.”
Local police are said to be involved, but it is not yet known whether a formal investigation will be opened.
Chukwuebuka also shared that Cynthia’s funeral will take place on 25 April, in Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria, where she was from.
Her death has left people online heartbroken.
Ikwechighi said: “God. My condolences to you and your entire family, may her gentle soul rest in peace.”
Daniel said: “This is so painful. May the God of comfort comfort those she left behind.”
“Ah. This is so disheartening to watch.” Komolafe added.
