Twenty-two people were killed after a two-storey school building collapsed in central Nigeria's Plateau state, Sky News reported on Saturday.

A total of 154 people were trapped under the debris, and everyone apart from those who died was rescued and is being treated for injuries in various hospitals, Sky News said, citing a police spokesperson.

Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said in a Facebook post that thirty people are still in hospital, adding that rescue efforts had ended and the site had been cleared.
