The stage where the inauguration of the new governor of Kano state, Abba Kabir Yusuf took place collapsed on Monday.
The stage collapsed just after Yusuf of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) was sworn in.
Some youths were seen to have climbed the rooftop of the podium which led to its collapse.
The Governor, his Deputy, and the acting Chief Judge were all on the podium when the incident happened at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano.
The governor and his deputy were, however, confirmed to be safe.
