A badminton court collapse Monday evening claimed the life of a taekwondo coach Musa Ismail following a heavy down pour.
The rainstorm occurred between 5:30pm and 6:pm causing a flash flooding which overwhelmed the badminton court where the coach was training with friends. The court at the Lower Niger River Basin Authority, caved in and trapped the coach.
He left behind a wife and a young child.
Findings at Lower Niger River Basin Authority in Ilorin on Tuesday, showed that the Badminton court has been sealed with the collapsed section visible from outside the structure.
Staff of the agency were not forthcoming when approached on the development.
Efforts to reach the Public Relations Officer and the Managing Director of the authority on the incident proved abortive of press time.
Meanwhile coaches are mourning the untimely demise of Musa Ismail.
