An Islamic Primary school collapsed near the Central Nigeria city of Jos.
According to The Guardian, Four children and a teacher were killed.
This tragedy happened on Sunday evening at the Abu Naima school in the Bukuru area to the south of the city, said Mohammed Abdulsalam, from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA)
“Four students and one female teacher. Twenty four people, 21 girls and 3 boys were injured and taken to the hospital. Two of the children who died were boys and two girls”
The cause of the collapse was yet to be identified but Abdulsalam said investigators were looking at whether the addition of extra floors onto the single storey building was a factor.
The rescue operation was concluded last night at about 10 o’clock. We are going this morning for further checks” he said.
