A storey building collapsed during a heavy downpour on Saturday morning in Benin City, Edo State, trapping several students from the University of Benin (UNIBEN).

It was gathered that the incident occurred on Ekhator Street, Ekosodin, an area known for housing students.

One of the students, who preferred to remain anonymous, told SaharaReporters that a university rescue team managed to extract some of the trapped occupants, though several were severely injured.

He added that the injured victims were promptly rushed to the hospital for medical treatment.

"The rescue team is still searching for one victim who remains trapped inside the rubble. It was reported that the victim called from inside the building, pleading for help, and efforts are ongoing to locate and rescue them," the student said.

The Dean of Students from UNIBEN is reportedly on the scene, coordinating rescue efforts alongside the university team.

At the time of reporting, the university management has yet to release an official statement regarding the cause of the collapse or the total number of individuals affected by the incident.

However, rescue operations are ongoing as of the time of filing this report.

This is what happens when you opt for cheap labour from the south west. Educated Igbo engineer will quote N2m for you, you'll say no, Kabiru the bricklayer will do it for N600k.

Same goes for mechanic Kazeems, electrician Moshoods and co.

In recent times, Igbo women have stopped giving birth to sensible children. It is waste products and mental cripples like you that litter your place.

Within the last 3 months, mote than 4 buildings have collapsed in the South East.
Last month alone, 2 buildings collapsed in Anambra.

Yet, one child of a nonentity is talking nonsense here.
