The University of Benin (UNIBEN) says the three students rescued from the collapsed storey building at Ekosodin community are now in stable condition at the hospital.

Some UNIBEN students were trapped under the rubble of a collapsed building on Ekhator Street in Ekosodin on Saturday.

Ekosodin is a community predominantly occupied by UNIBEN students.

It shares borders with the University of Benin.

A downpour had started on Friday in Benin and lasted until Saturday morning, resulting in the building collapse.

A rescue team was been deployed to the scene to extract injured students, with some requiring hospitalisation.

The rescue team comprised staff of the security and fire service departments, the health centre, students, and the police.

An eyewitness account revealed that no life was lost but several students were injured.

The UNIBEN management said the hospitalised students are now in stable condition.

It said they were first taken to UNIBEN’s health centre from where two were transferred to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital.

“The management wishes the affected students speedy recovery and commends the rescue team for their gallantry,” the institution said.
