On Saturday April 22, 2023 another building — a block of flats in the Sango Police Barracks in Oyo State collapsed.
The sad development was confirmed in a video captioned “This block just collapsed at Sango police Barracks, Ibadan, Oyo State,” and which was posted on Twitter by a social media user with the name Miss Urie Keshia.
Report has it that the collapsed building was facing a three storey building.
The Oyo State Police Command and the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Ibadan, could not be reached at the time of filing this report as efforts to get across to them proved abortive.
Those residing around the affected area have swung into action trying to rescue the situation.
The number of trapped persons and the level of damage caused by the inferno could not be ascertained at the time of filing this report.
