22 students were killed in the collapse of the Saints Academy School in the Bossa Bugi area of Plateau State, northern Nigeria, in a disaster added to the series of building collapses common in the country.

The collapse occurred shortly after the students, aged 15 and under, arrived.

The Nigerian National Emergency Management Agency reported that rescue workers, health and security forces quickly deployed to the scene in an attempt to rescue and treat the victims.
