A staff of the University told newsmen “The incident happened earlier morning on Saturday. We were on duty when we got the call and we are on the scene, some people have been rescued others are still trapped, we are calling for more hands to ensure that the occupants are rescued. I am still at the scene.” He said.
The university management has yet to release an official statement to that effect.
