Tragedy struck in Oleyo area, Odo-Ona Elewe in Oluyole Local Government Area of Oyo State yesterday as no fewer than five persons were feared trapped when a two-storey building under construction collapsed.
Four persons also sustained injury and are currently receiving treatment in hospitals.
Eyewitness told Daily Sun that the building caved in at about 10.00am, trapping some workers, while a few others who were outside at the time of the collapse, escaped with bruises.
Men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) Oyo State Fire Service and sympathisers were seen working at rescuing those trapped in the debris.
However, there was little they could do, as there were no equipment to clear the debris. A man simply identified as Baba Ibeji who was one of those trapped was later rescued by the team.
Amidst songs of thanksgiving, Baba Ibeji told those who were at the scene that some of his colleagues were still trapped.
Rescue workers had difficult time controlling the crowd of sympathisers who besieged the scene of the incident.
