One person has been confirmed dead as a warehouse under construction in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, collapsed on a Mosque.

It was learnt that the building, which was said to have collapsed on a mosque beside it, left another victim injured.

The incident, it was gathered, happened in the Soka area of Ibadan, around the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Friday.
