A building in the Sabo section of Osogbo, Osun State’s capital, collapsed unexpectedly, trapping an unspecified number of people under the rubble.
During an interview with reporters, a resident of the area, who is also a member of the Nigeria Hunters and Forest Security Service, known simply as Alaran, stated that a loud sound was heard in the vicinity when the structure collapsed.
According to Alaran, several people were inside the building when it collapsed unexpectedly, and police and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps personnel came quickly to a distress call from the scene.
He said, “The incident happened between 7:30 and 8: a.m. this morning (Sunday). A loud sound was heard. The house is not being inhabited by anyone. But some people usually hide there to smoke or gamble. Some people were trapped.”
