In Nigeria, at least 22 students were killed after a two-story school in the community of Busa Buji collapsed during morning classes Friday. Over 100 students at the Saints Academy became trapped in the rubble. Many of the school’s students are 15 or younger. Local officials vowed to investigate as the families of the victims gathered near the school to mourn their loved ones. This is Victor Dennis, whose son Emmanuel was killed in the school collapse.
Victor Dennis: “I went there to see the collapsed building, a two-story building. So, people were helping to rescue the students. My two girls, one jumped out; they rescued the other one. My boy was down. It took some time before they brought him out from the rubble. He had an injury on his head. I saw his dead body in the mortuary.”
