A four-year-old boy has survived after falling from a two-storey building in Aba, Abia State, with a neighbour who helped rush him to hospital expressing relief that the child was alive.

Sam Odeg, who lives opposite the boy's family, recounted the incident in a Facebook post, saying the child had returned from school that afternoon and was climbing the balcony railing when his hands slipped.

Odeg said he heard a woman screaming after she found the boy lying motionless on the ground. He and another neighbour rushed into the compound and found the child bleeding.

According to Odeg, he carried the boy to a hospital and contacted his parents, who later joined them there.
