Panic struck on Wednesday night as a classroom collapsed at a school in Namnai during the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), leaving several students and teachers injured.

Eyewitnesses reported that the collapse occurred during the English Language exam. The tragedy struck after heavy rainfall began mid-examination, weakening the already dilapidated structure and causing it to give way.

Rhapsodi Affos Blog further gathered that there were major delays in the conduct of WAEC exams across Taraba State on the same day. The English paper, originally scheduled for the morning, was postponed until evening-placing students in vulnerable conditions as they wrote under uncertain weather.



As of the time of filing this report, the injured students are receiving treatment at a local facility in the town.

No official statement has been released by WAEC or state education authorities, but the incident has sparked concerns over examination planning, infrastructure safety, and the welfare of students during national exams.
