Osogbo, Osun State — Two individuals have been rescued while three others remain trapped after an uncompleted building collapsed at AUD Primary School, Sabo Elegun, Osogbo, Osun State.
The incident occurred around 7:30 am on Sunday, and the building was reportedly occupied by hoodlums at the time of the collapse.

Local government authorities are actively involved in the rescue operations. “The LGA chairman and his team were around and they have gone to see how the crane can be brought down. On the ground are the SSG, NSCDC, Police commissioner and the team, OSEMA, and other government dignitaries,” she added.
