The Management of the University of Benin has assured that the three students of the institution who were rescued from the collapsed storey building at Ekosodin neighbouring community are in stable condition in the hospital.
It would be recalled that the building, where the students resided, collapsed yesterday (Saturday, September 14), following the downpour which began Friday afternoon.
Eyewitnesses said no life was lost but that several students were injured.
In a statement issued yesterday in Benin, the university said the rescue team, comprising staff of the security and fire service departments, the health centre, students as well as the police succeeded in rescuing the students.
It said the rescued students were first taken to the institution’s health centre before two of them were later taken to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital.
“The management wishes the affected students speedy recovery and commends the rescue team for their gallantry,” the statement surmised.
