Many little kids have narrowly escaped tragic death in their school after a tank came crashing down during school hours.
The scene of the incident
A school water tank has collapsed in a Kogi primary school.
According to Facebook user, Ottah Gabriel Alhassan, who shared the
photos, the overhead tank collapsed in the school just after the
students were dismissed for their break.
Fortunately no one was injured.
Below is what he wote:
"Ayegba Primary School, Idah overhead tank just collapsed with its full content during school hours.
"The after-break bell just rang and children were just leaving
the water area. Three other children were still at the tap when the tank
base and the pillars succumbed to weight pressure.
"All of us around Ayegba Primary School in Ubomu heard the
sound of the fall like one terrorist explosion. I ran to the scene...
other people had gathered before me.
"The three children were lucky not to have been under the tank,
otherwise, we would have been singing songs of sorrow. But they had
their share of proximity dividends as the water that gushed out of the
tank with the fall swallowed them a couple of seconds before spreading
to the sheets.
"The children had gulped plenty of water, though stable. The
school management, in appreciation to God for the safety of the
children, swiftly dismissed the children for the day.
"This is the second time the tank is falling. When it did last
year, children were not in school. It is a typical example of bad work
that characterises Nigeria contract execution.
"Authorities concerned should dig into who did the work, the
quality of materials used and the durability guarantee of such
materials.
"Thank God for the lives of the children."
