A five-story building under construction in Ngbabor, near Ebonyi State University’s Presco campus in Abakaliki, has collapsed.
According to the report, the construction workers at the site sped out of the building as soon as the building began to shake before it finally collapsed.
Spokesperson of the State Police Command, Chris Anyanwu, who verified the occurrence during an interview with journalists on Wednesday, June 8, said “no casualty was recorded”
According to a member of the community, the laborers working at the site ran out when the building started vibrating and eventually collapsed.
Meanwhile, government officials have inspected the collapsed building to verify the cause of the incident.
A team of Police officers and Ebubeagu operatives were also on the ground to cordon off the collapsed building to avoid any form of casualty.
People from the area were warned by government officials not to go closer to the remaining uncompleted building for their safety.
