#IbadanBuildingCollapse –Two-Storey Building Collapses In Ibadan [Photos & Video]
A two-storey building has collapsed in Bode area of Ibadan, Oyo State only two days after the collapse of another, a 3-storey building in the ItaFaji area of Lagos State.
It’s tragedy and more tragedy for Nigerians who have experienced multiple collapse of poor buildings within the space of 48 hours.
Reports and eye witnesses have it that a two-storey building has collapsed in Ibadan with so many off its occupants trapped by the building’s ruins.
It was alleged that distress calls were put to appropriate authorities but that the emergency workers who arrived at the scene to rescue the people trapped by the collapse building lacked the necessary equipment and tools to work with.
