Two people die after a refuse dump collapses onto a building in Ikot Effanga, along Old Odukpani Road in Calabar, Cross River State. Police in the state confirm the deaths in statements, saying the incident occurs in the early hours of Friday.
The reports describe the collapsed heap of refuse as being swept onto a building, prompting an emergency response that includes police personnel. While the outlets frame the event slightly differently—some referring to a refuse dump collapse and others to a landslide—the accounts align on the location, timing, and death toll. Both point to the same police communication from the Cross River State Police Command, with details attributed to the police public relations officer.
