An eyewitness who gave his name as Tonye said they heard a loud sound just about the break of dawn which frightened residents.
He said some of the workers had earlier raised the alarm after spotting a crack and brought it to the attention of others.
“Some workers said they noticed some cracks in the building and asked their co-workers who were in the last building. But they didn’t hear because they were playing loud music.“The next thing the building started collapsing. We just pray that those injured survive,” the resident stated. Meanwhile as of the time of filing this report, the State Commissioner for Special Duties, Emeka Woke had visited the scene.When contacted, Eng Woke said he was in a meeting and asked our correspondent to call back in two hours’ time.
“Okay I am in a meeting with my boss. Please call me back in two hours’ time I will respond to you,” he stated.All rights reserved.
