Nigerian Marathon Runner Dies as Apartment Block Collapses in Cyprus
A four-storey apartment block in Limassol, Cyprus collapsed on Easter Saturday, killing 27-year-old Stanley shortly after his morning run. The building housed mainly African and Egyptian residents. Friends say tenants warned the landlord about falling ceilings, exposed metal bars and power cuts. Despite the risks, Stanley—who worked for a solar panel company and supported his mother and six siblings in Nigeria—always paid his rent on time. Emergency crews from fire, police and civil defence units recovered two bodies and took three injured residents to hospital. Rescue dogs joined the operation as authorities investigate the structure’s safety.
