The management of University of Benin says the three students of the institution rescued from the collapsed storey building at Ekosodin neighbouring community were in stable condition in hospital.
The management disclosed this, in a statement on Saturday in Benin.
Recall that the building where the students resided collapsed on Saturday, following a downpour which began Friday afternoon.
A witness account revealed that while no life was lost, several students were injured.
The statement said a 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 transferred 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 said.
