Dozens of students, teachers and Corps members escaped death by whiskers in Taraba State when classrooms collapsed during the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE).
The incident happened at Government Secondary School, Namne, Gassol Local Government Area of the state at about 6 pm on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.
The classrooms collapsed on them during a heavy rainfall, which was accompanied by a windstorm.
The students and their invigilators were trapped in the collapsed classrooms for hours before some residents rescued them.
A resident, Alhaji DanAzumi Lauris, told Daily Trust that it was the second set of the students that the classrooms collapsed on, as the first set had finished their exams and left the school premises.
DanAzumi stated that the injured students, teachers and corps members were moved to the Primary Healthcare centre located a few meters away from the school, where they are now receiving treatment.
He said apart from the school destroyed by the storm, many houses in the town were also destroyed by the storm.
