The building, which was located at Road 5 Extension Avenue in the Umuguma area of Owerri, collapsed around 5.00am.
Our correspondent, who visited the scene, saw government workers from the Owerri Capital Development Authority sealing up the building. One of the workers who spoke to our correspondent, but refused to disclose his identity, said they had the instruction of the leadership of the Agency to seal the site.
He said, “I am from the operations Department of OCDA. We have the mandate of the leadership to seal this place and ensure safety. That is what we have done. As you can see there was no casualty. Nobody was in the building as of the time it collapsed. They are about rounding off the building before it caved in. To the glory of God the workers doing the finishing works were not present.
“We have sealed it and a probe has been ordered into it. We will find out who gave the owner a building permit and approval. What kind of an engineer was in charge. Who were the surveyor and architect. These are the things we will find out because it is the constitutional responsibility of our Agency to do so.”
That's unusual not to have a single worker or security there. They place was evaluated before it collapsed? 🤔. Something fishy happened 😎.
Probably due to substandard materials & human errors.
