JUST IN: Many trapped as school collapses on students writing exams in Plateau
Many people have been trapped as a school building collapsed on students who were writing their third-term promotional examination.
The incident occurred at Saint Academy in the Busa Buji community of Jos North Local Government Area, Plateau State, around 11 am on Friday, July 12, 2024.
The classes, which accommodated over 100 students, collapsed, with many underneath the rubble.
Located close to the Busa Buji bridge, the school is built a stone’s throw away from the river.
While many attributes the cause of the collapse to the heavy rainfall that fell from Wednesday to Thursday, others say the location of the school close to the river, contributed to the collapse.
The scene of the collapsed school building has been filled with parents and loved ones crying and well-wishers praying for their children who are students at the school.
At the time of filling out this report, operatives of the police, Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, Red Cross, and local vigilantes were at the scene on a rescue mission.
Several casualties have been rushed to the Bingham University Teaching Hospital, popularly called Jan Kwano and OLA Hospital, for treatment, Chronicle NG reports.
