A serene Monday morning in Ibadan's bustling business district was shattered by a shocking incident at the iconic 26-storey Cocoa House, as an unidentified individual plummeted from one of its upper levels. The sudden, terrifying fall sent ripples of panic through the area, with one witness initially mistaking the descending figure for a bird, only to be confronted with the horrifying reality of a human impact.
Another bystander recounted the chilling sight of the man striking a roof near a security post before hitting the ground, an event that left them deeply shaken. While the precise events leading to this tragic fall are still shrouded in mystery, an active investigation is underway to uncover the full circumstances.
Odu’a Investment Company Limited, the managing entity of Cocoa House, acknowledged the incident in a statement released on Tuesday. Victor Ayetoro, the company's Head of Branding and Communication, confirmed that the man was swiftly provided with medical care and transported to the University College Hospital, Ibadan.
The company conveyed its profound concern regarding the occurrence and pledged its complete collaboration with the authorities as the investigation progresses.
