Watch the video below;
Panic erupted as bystanders rushed to rescue the victims. The extent of injuries sustained in the collapse remains unclear, but the incident has sent the online community on frenzy, with many questioning the quality of the construction.
Read some netizens’ reactions below;
@Danielregha: I am happy this bridge c@llapsed right in their presence, & also endangered their lives, otherwise those commissioning the bridge won’t know the risk of approving such a poor project. This could’ve cost the masses their lives. I won’t be surprised if a lot of money was allocated for this, but those in charge embezzled it.
@ishow_leck: Useless leaders. Their legs are supposed to break off
@bigwolf: lol. This is not funny but funny. Ode. So they didn’t test the durability before commissioning 😂
@iamrotimiade: May God Forgive and Transform All Corrupt Leaders in Africa.
@prettymfon: They didn’t check to see if the bridge was okay before commissioning it. They are lucky nothing happened to them. They should do better next time.
Authorities are yet to release an official statement regarding the cause of the collapse or whether an investigation will be launched. The video continues to gain traction, drawing criticism over infrastructure safety and accountability in public projects.
