Essos-Yaounde: A house under construction collapses killing young student doing holiday job

With the advent of the holidays, students engage in holiday jobs to help reduce the budget for back to school on the part of their parents.

A father is seriously blaming himself for allowing his son to work at his construction site in the Essos Neighborhood in Yaounde. The student was buried under rubble from sliding earth at the site, the loose earth from the hillside was not supported and the boy filling the foundation below was buried alive.

The Fire Rescue Unit rushed to the scene but was not lucky as they could retrieve only the lifeless body of the boy from the rubble.
