A block of flats in the Sango Police Barracks in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, on Saturday evening, collapsed.

However, the number of trapped persons or casualties, if any, remained unknown.

The collapsed structure is in front of a residential three-storey building in the area.

Meanwhile, residents in the area are intensifying efforts to evacuate the rubble.
