It was gathered that some who were suffocating were helped out of the building and being assisted with sachets of water.

Some of the hoodlums climbed fences from adjacent compounds near WAEC office while others fought their ways through the back of Fidelity Bank premises.

Parts of the roofs of the warehouse were broken by hoodlums to provide access into the hall.
