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.”
