Olayiwola Matthew
A yet-to-be-identified man has reportedly fallen from one of the top floors of the 26-storey Cocoa House building in Ibadan, Oyo State.
PUNCH Metro gathered that the incident, which threw the entire business community into panic, occurred in the early hours of Monday.
One of the eyewitnesses who spoke with our correspondent on Tuesday on the condition of anonymity said, “When the incident happened, I initially thought it was a large bird falling from the sky.
“It was only when the person landed that I realised it was a human being.“I had my phone with me but I couldn’t even record anything because I was completely shocked.”
Another eyewitness said, “The victim first hit a roof beside the security post of the building before landing on the ground. It was a terrifying sight.”
As of press time, the circumstances behind the unfortunate incident were still sketchy as the investigation continues.
