Many people were trapped on Wednesday evening when a two-story building collapsed in Awka, the capital of Anambra State. PREMIUM TIMES learned that the building, still under construction, is situated along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway in the state capital.
A witness, Charles Umeh, reported that those trapped were primarily workers at the site. “I saw about five men working on the roof of the building earlier before the collapse. But I cannot tell how many of them were trapped there,” Mr. Umeh shared with the newspaper.
Another witness, who preferred to remain anonymous, mentioned that the project engineer was also trapped. “Even the engineer in charge of the building was trapped alongside others. His name is Stanley. But he was later rescued,” he revealed.
When contacted, the police spokesperson in Anambra State, Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the situation to PREMIUM TIMES on Thursday morning. Mr. Ikenga, a superintendent of police, stated that operatives led by the divisional police officer of the Central Police Station in Awka have been deployed to the area.
“We have rescued two workers, and they have been taken to a hospital. For now, no life was lost as the victims are responding to treatment,” he added. The police spokesperson informed that the site engineer and the owner of the collapsed building have been invited for questioning. The Executive Secretary of Anambra State Emergency Agency, Paul Odenigbo, did not respond to calls or text messages seeking his comments.
