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.
