The
residents, mostly students of Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, and
the Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti, took snapshots of the white solid
substance.A Punch correspondent, who was a witness, observed the excitement
that greeted the incident as many of the residents rushed outside to
catch a glimpse of the rare occurrence. The rain lasted for barely 40
mins.Ireoluwa Akinyemi, a fresh graduate of EKSU said it was a refreshed
experience for him. “I have not seen snow in this magnitude before, I’m
really excited. It is a lovely experience.”Another neighbour, Kemi Fadairo, said the size of the snow was the
biggest she had seen. “I have been seeing snows fall but these are the
biggest I have seen,” she said.The rain started by stoning doors with the snow, first causing
apprehension among residents, who peeped through their windows to
observe if it was an intruder.“We thought it was somebody playing pranks, so we peeped through the window to see who it was to know whether to shout for help.“It was then we discovered it was snow falling from the sky and hitting the door hard.I also joined in taking photographs,” said Olawale Hafeez, a Laboratory Technologist.
