VIDEO: principal reveals details behind Jos School Building Collapse
In the midst of an active emergency at Saints Academy in Jos North LGA, Plateau State, criticism has mounted over an untimely interview with the school principal. The two-storey building collapsed this morning, July 12, 2024, trapping students who were in the middle of writing exams.
Emergency responders were quick to the scene, with cranes and rescue teams working tirelessly to save the trapped victims. However, as rescue efforts were underway, attention was diverted when a media crew conducted an interview with the visibly distressed principal.
Observers and rescue personnel expressed outrage, stating that all efforts should have been focused solely on the rescue operation. “This was not the time for interviews,” said a local resident. “Every second counts in saving those children.”
The incident has sparked a broader conversation about the role of media during crises, emphasizing the need for sensitivity and prioritization of rescue efforts over sensational coverage.
