New details have emerged about the tragic death of Wisdom, the young man whose body was recovered from the rubble of the collapsed building at Avenor.
According to a superior who spoke about the incident, Wisdom was documenting the condition of the structure after concerns emerged that it was on the verge of collapsing.
“Wisdom died while filming the building that was about to collapse. He was in a nearby building when one of the pillars gave way. He then moved to another side to record the scene and send the video to me, but the building collapsed on him, killing him instantly,” the superior recounted.
The account suggests that Wisdom was attempting to capture footage of the deteriorating structure when the situation suddenly worsened. After noticing signs of the building’s instability, he reportedly changed positions to continue filming and share updates, unaware that the structure was moments away from giving way completely.
