A storey building under construction has reportedly collapsed and killed three people in Anambra State.
The incident, which happened at about 1:00am on Sunday in Egbu Umuenem, Otolo Nnewi, in Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State, affected one Mr. Chizoba Aniefuna, who is a builder and his two sons.
The Chairman of the Anambra State Council for Regulation of Engineering of Nigeria, (COREN), Mr. Victor Meju, who supervised the evacuation of the three victims, described it as unfortunate.
He said that the late builder was not a certified engineer and the materials used for the structure were all substandard.
Mr. Meju said the late builder, his sons, and his cousin were building the structure on a night and day basis.
He stated that the cousin was lucky to be rescued on time; however, the builder’s body and that of his sons were buried in the rubble and needed an excavator to be brought.
