A heavy windstorm has damaged the pavilion of the nearly completed Lafiagi Stadium in Kwara State, Punch Nigeria reports. The incident caused panic and raised concerns about the safety of the stadium structure. The pavilion was reportedly affected while the project was close to completion.
The available source material does not say when the windstorm occurred or describe the extent of the damage. It also does not state whether anyone was injured or whether other parts of the stadium were affected. No response from state authorities, project officials or the contractor was provided.
It is therefore unclear whether construction work has been suspended, whether an inspection has been ordered or when the facility is expected to open. The report establishes the damage and the safety concerns but contains no further technical assessment.
