TRAGIC: ONE DEAD, 5 INJURED AS RAINSTORM DESTROYS SCHOOL BUILDING IN OGUN
The Governor of Ogun State, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has commiserated with the victims of a rainstorm that destroyed the classrooms of Mayigi Community Comprehensive High School, Ilase, in the Ipokia Local Government Area of the state.
A 14-year-old Junior Secondary School 3 learner, Timothy Amosun died in the incident, while five other learners, two teachers, a food vendor, and her seven-month-old child were injured.
Governor Abiodun described the incident as a rude shock and very pathetic to bear, praying to God to give the family of the deceased the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss.
The governor said the government would be responsible for the medical bills of the injured, adding that he had directed concerned agencies to move the victims who are in critical condition to specialist hospitals within and outside the state, where they are currently receiving maximum medical attention.
He also stated that he has directed the Commissioner for Education to visit the families of the victims and the school to take inventory of what needs to be done to rebuild the damaged school.
