The residents of the town were in awe when they allegedly discovered that an old tree had risen mysteriously.

Newsflash Nigeria had reported that four persons were feared killed, and another seriously injured when an ancient majestic ‘Odan’ tree fell during heavy rainfall in Saabo area of Oyo town in Oyo State.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the tree provided shelter for butchers, drivers, and commercial motorcycle operators at a popular foodstuff market in Oyo town.

Those affected were people who took shelter under the tree during the rainfall.

A female student of the Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo, a woman with a baby strapped to her back and a boy she was holding were pulled out from under the tree.

According to Akeebu Alarape, chairman of Saabo market, the tree was said to be around for about 100 years.
