School Railing Collapses In Lagos, Injuring 8 Students -

Lagos — Eight students of Ajangbadi High
School in Iba Local Council Development
Area, LCDA, Lagos went into coma after the
railing of the two-storey building in the
school collapsed.
The incident which caused pandemonium
in the school premises occurred at about
10:00 a.m. as the students were leaning on
the rail on the second floor of the building.
Vanguard gathered that the rail had shown
signs of rust but was not replaced.
Miss Rofiat Ademola, a Senior Secondary
School, SSS1 student, said the rail finally
gave way on Monday and injured eight of
the SSS 3, students.
According to Ademola: “We were in the
classroom at about 10:00 a.m. Suddenly,
we heard a loud noise.
“We rushed out to see what was happening
and saw that some SSS3 students had
fallen from the second floor of the
building.”
Another student, Mr. Samuel Olasunkanmi,
said the rail started showing signs of rust
since last school term.
“Despite the bad state of the rail, the
students still used to lean on it before it
collapsed on Monday.”
Confirming the incident, the Chairman of
the council, Mrs. Ramota Oseni-Adeyeri
who spoke to Vanguard, said only eight
students were affected when the rail gave
way.
Oseni-Adeyeri said: “The students were
rushed to the Iba LCDA Primary Health
Centre, PHC, where the medical officers
gave them appropriate treatment.
“Of the eight students, only one is still in
critical condition at the moment and she
was transferred to the Igando General
Hospital, Igando, for treatment.”
