three persons.
It was gathered that the building was in a complex housing five buildings of four storey each while construction was still going on.
It was gathered that two of the workers on construction site sustained minor injury while the injury sustained by the third worker was reportedly serious.
They were said to have all been rushed to an undisclosed hospital for treatment.
A
student of Unilorin, Joy William, who witnessed the collapse narrated
the incident, saying, “We were inside the room, then we heard a very
loud noise and I went out. That was when the building just collapsed. It
happened this afternoon. We heard somebody shouting ‘help, help’ and
people rushed to his rescue. They rescued one person and later rescued
the second person. The third person was badly injured. They rushed the
three of them to the nearest hospital.
“The collapsed section of
the building is a mosque but the back side is an apartment. The workers
were the ones that did the rescue work, there was no external person or
equipment to rescue the people that were shouting for help. The workers
have been on the site for about five months now. This is a new
building”, she said.
