Dozens of students sitting for the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination at Government Secondary School, Namnai, in Gassol Local Government Area of Taraba State narrowly escaped death on Wednesday evening after their classrooms collapsed during a downpour accompanied by a windstorm.
The students, along with teachers, corps members, and external supervisors, were reportedly trapped in the collapsed structures and had to be rescued by local residents who responded swiftly to the incident.
Several students, both male and female, sustained varying degrees of injuries, with some reportedly suffering fractures to their limbs.
The victims are currently receiving treatment at a nearby Primary Healthcare Centre in the town.
