Tragedy struck at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp in Ise Emure, Ekiti State, early today when a female bathroom collapsed, trapping several corps members under the rubble.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident occurred in the early hours of the morning, catching many off guard. Corps members quickly sprang into action, working together to rescue their trapped colleagues.
The scene is reported to be chaotic, with rescue efforts ongoing. The number of corps members trapped is yet to be confirmed, but witnesses say several girls are still stuck under the debris.
The cause of the collapse is still unknown, but officials have been notified and are en route to the scene. The NYSC management has also been informed, and an investigation is expected to commence soon.
The bravery and quick thinking of the corps members involved in the rescue efforts are commendable, and their actions may have saved lives.
This incident raises concerns about the state of infrastructure in public facilities, particularly those housing young people. The government and relevant authorities must ensure that all public buildings, including NYSC orientation camps, are safe and well-maintained to prevent such incidents.
