At least three people were reportedly trapped under the decking of an uncompleted story building that collapsed in the Ayetoro area of Osogbo, the Osun State capital, while two others were rescued from the debris.
The building, which was often occupied by hoodlums for illicit activities, left good Samaritans working tirelessly within their physical capacity to break the decking and connected rods to save those trapped in the incident. The Osun State Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps , in a statement by its spokesperson, Kehinde Adeleke, explained that two people have been rescued so far while the remaining three are still trapped under the decking, requiring the use of a crane.
“While we await the crane, people are doing all they can within their physical capacity to break the decking and connected rods,” she said. According to Nigerian Tribune, security operatives from the NSCDC, the state police commissioner and his team, officials of the Osun State Environmental Management Agency, and other government officials were on the scene to ensure the safety of the victims.
