One student, who was present at the scene, described the situation as “terrifying,” saying, “The water came so fast, and before we knew it, parts of the hostel had already collapsed.”
The floodwaters have also paralyzed movement within the area, with many streets completely submerged. Authorities are advising residents to stay indoors and avoid flooded areas as they continue to assess the extent of the damage.
The collapse has heightened fears among residents and students in Ekosodin, who are concerned about the integrity of other buildings in the area given the persistent rainfall.

Local authorities are yet to provide an official statement regarding the cause of the building collapse or any plans for further evacuation efforts. However, residents and students remain on high alert as they brace for the possibility of more rainfall in the coming days.
In the meantime, relief efforts are being organized to provide temporary shelter for displaced students and residents who have been affected by the flood and collapse.
