Four Nigerian cadets whose identity Vanguard could not immediately ascertain were said to have been injured following the hurricane that swept through the Philippines recently.
The cadets are currently undergoing different courses in maritime studies in that country.
It was said that the cadets on sighting the storm coming towards their hostel, tried to escape the hurricane and jumped from a high platform thereby getting injured in the process.
The injured cadets, it was gathered, were taken to the hospital for treatment but were discharged after a few days later.
Besides the injured Nigerian cadets, more than 100 people were killed in a major Philippine coastal city that took the brunt of Super Typhoon Haiyan, authorities said Saturday.
The death toll in Tacloban was the first significant casualty report on the day authorities began surveying devastation by a typhoon described as perhaps the strongest storm ever to make landfall in recorded history.
