It is a tragic story, but an altar boy has died after an uncompleted building fell on him, few minutes after he finished serving mass and was on his way home.
The incident on an Easter morning has sent shock waves amongst the Catholic faithful given that altar server identified as Pascal Afodote was of Our Lady Mother of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, Ajah in Lagos.
The Eagle learnt that the deceased had just finished serving in the 6:30am and 8am mass in his parish on Sunday and was on his way home when the accident happened.
More pathetic was that he was just about two blocks from his house.
He was immediately rushed to various hospitals. On arrival at the last hospital, he was pronounced dead and was brought back to the church were he last left. His funeral mass took place this morning in his parish.
