A yet-to-be-identified man has reportedly fallen from one of the upper floors of the 26-storey Cocoa House building in Ibadan, Oyo State.

The incident was said to have occurred in the early hours of Monday.

Odu’a Investment Company Limited, the firm managing Cocoa House, confirmed the incident in a statement issued on Tuesday in Ibadan.

The company’s Head of Branding and Communication, Victor Ayetoro, said “The individual involved was swiftly attended to by the emergency response team and taken to the University College Hospital, Ibadan, for urgent medical attention.

The company expresses deep concern over the development and assures the public of its full cooperation with authorities investigating the cause of the fall.”

A witness, speaking anonymously, said “When the incident happened, I initially thought it was a large bird falling from the sky. It was only when the person landed that I realised it was a human being.

I had my phone with me, but I couldn’t even record anything because I was completely shocked.”

Another eyewitness recounted that the victim first struck a roof near the building’s security post before hitting the ground, describing the experience as terrifying.

Depression is real but suicide is not best option

Tinubu induced suicide fall

The information available is sketchy.

I hope there is no foul play here.

There is very limited information on the health status of the victim.

It is well.

Sorry o. Did he die ? …..



Well this is sad. I hope it isn’t murder disguised as suicide sha

May his soul R.I.P

This is frightening. I pray he survives. 🙏🏾

How did the guy even manage to survive a fall from such a height?

Is he alive?🙄 If he is, then that's a real MIRACLE. Because I read being taken to the UC hospital for treatment.

Was he attempting suicide ?

Such a tragic and heartbreaking incident. My thoughts are with the victim and his loved ones during this difficult time. We pray for his recovery and strength for his family. Accidents like this remind us how fragile life can be—may they find comfort and in the days ahead.

He didn't die! Strange

While that may be true, don't jump to conclusions yet, he might have been pushed, too. We are always quick to dismiss deaths as suicide (actual suicides are on the rise, though), however some things might look like one but aren't.

Frustration 🫤

The fall as reported was from one of the stories. It didn’t say from the 26th floor. 😁😁😁 could have been from the 2nd-3rd-10th floor 😁😁😁😁😁. Nevertheless, sorry sorry sorry for the victim. 🏃🏻‍➡️🏃🏻‍➡️🏃🏻‍➡️

Wow
He fell from the 26 storey building, but no one is sure about the floor he fell from.

Meanwhile, falling from the building has to be through the window, which leaves one to suspect that it was either a deliberate fall or a forced one.

Only the man can tell the story behind the fall if he happens to survive. Sad!

Hmm

Most likely suicide...though cops should investigate.
