A video circulating online captures the moment students from Saint Academy Secondary School are being rescued from the collapsed building.
Recall in a previous post, Gossipinfo reported that tragedy struck in Jos as a two-story school building collapsed on students writing exams.
22 children have died and at least 132 have been injured in the collapse, with many more still yet to be found. The school is believed to have more than 1,000 pupils.
Saint Academy in the state capital, Jos, caved in while students were in class on Friday morning. Children were left trapped under the debris.
Volunteers used excavators, hammers and their bare hands to break through the piles of concrete and twisted iron rods to reach many of those trapped.
