Two individuals have been rescued while three remain trapped in an unfinished building that collapsed at AUD Primary School, Sabo Elegun, Osogbo, Osun State. The incident occurred around 7:30 am on Sunday and involved a structure reportedly occupied by hoodlums.
The spokesperson for the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), Kehinde Adeleke, confirmed the collapse. She stated that two people have been rescued, while three others are still trapped under the decking, necessitating the use of a crane for their rescue.
“While we await the crane, people are doing all they can within their physical capacity to break the decking and connected rods. The LGA chairman and his team are working to secure the crane,” Adeleke explained.
On the scene are the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), officials from the NSCDC, the Police Commissioner, the Osun State Emergency Management Agency (OSEMA), and other government dignitaries.
