Former Big Brother Naija star Queen Mercy Atang recently recounted a harrowing incident where her family narrowly escaped injury when a POP ceiling collapsed in their sitting room. The reality TV personality described the event as a miraculous avoidance of tragedy.
Queen Mercy revealed that her younger sister and nanny typically sleep in the sitting room after late-night sewing sessions. However, through what she calls divine intervention, they remained awake during this critical moment. The ceiling suddenly collapsed while they were still active, forcing them to flee instantly.
This marked the second ceiling collapse at her residence in recent weeks. An earlier incident occurred in her car garage, heightening concerns about structural safety. Queen Mercy shared the terrifying experience through social media posts.
The incident unfolded after Queen Mercy returned home around 4 am from filming sessions. She had been working on a Guinness World Record project throughout the night. Upon arriving, she found her sister still sewing and encouraged workers to rest in the sitting room.
Despite her suggestion, her nanny and sister continued working. This decision proved lifesaving when the ceiling collapsed at 6 am. Both women escaped unharmed by quickly fleeing the area.
The BBNaija star was resting when her mother rushed in with the news. Queen Mercy’s immediate concern was for her family’s safety. She expressed immense relief upon confirming everyone was unhurt.
Amidst the chaos, Queen Mercy continues preparations for a Guinness World Record project. She acknowledged the challenge of securing new accommodation while coordinating the event. The celebrity publicly thanked God for protecting her family during the frightening incident.
Queen Mercy concluded: “Dear Lord, I am grateful. Thank You for Your love and protection. I’m truly grateful.” Her experience highlights potential dangers of POP ceilings in Nigerian homes.
