The family of a drunk wedding guest who fell to his death at a Tube station and lay undiscovered for more than six hours are suing London Underground for more than £300,000 for negligence.
Bernard Ovu, 35, was trapped in a stairwell at Canning Town station for nearly an hour before tripping down concrete steps leading off the escape bridge and suffering a catastrophic head injury , it is claimed.
The IT expert fell just before 3am on January 22, 2017, after mistakenly straying into a staff-only area on his way home from a late-night wedding in Rotherhithe, south-east London.
His mother Roselyn Aigbibo Ovu, has now launched a £300,000 damages claim against London Underground Ltd, alleging negligence in failing to ensure safe staffing levels which she says would have led to his presence in the station being detected before it was too late.

After nearly ruining Mike Hill s proposal to Cynthia Bailey, Kenya Moore is determined to seek redemption. To express her love and appreciation towards the couple, the housewife decided to throw a surprise engagement dinner party. She roped in fellow housewife Kandi Burruss to help her out. Since the former beauty queen isn t on the best terms with several cast members (read Porsha Williams, Marlo Hampton, Tanya Sam, etc), she figured that it would be best if Kandi could pretend to be the hostess, so that all the ladies would show up at the party.
