Uncompleted 3-storey Building Collapses In Owerri by Fatdon(m): 1:51pm On Nov 27, 2012
Uncompleted 3-storey Building Collapses In Owerri, Worker Trapped Inside.

A 3-storey building under construction along Works Layout in Owerri the Imo state capital has collapsed.

Sources said the building collapsed around 11 pm yesterday night during a heavy downpour.

It was also disclosed that a 28 year old man identified as Joseph Ekanem a carpenter who happens to be one of the workers inside the building have been trapped inside, even though they cannot ascertain if there are more workers trapped inside and they cannot ascertain as there are 6 workers working in the building on daily basis.

Sources also disclosed that the owner of the building who lodged in a hotel close to the building came to the scene of the incidence but quickly locked up the building and ran away, when Channels Television contacted him on the phone, he denied ownership of the building.

At the time of filing this report, State emergency management agency (SEMA), Imo rescue team, Road Safety and combined security operatives in the state forcefully broke into the premises in order to rescue the trapped man.

However, some of the people living in the neighbourhood attributed the collapse to quack and shabby job by the contractor as the foundation is not strong enough to carry a 3-storey building.

Dude, perhaps, I smoked a lil ganja when I went to lunch, so you see, the thing sparked a plug in my brain sensors that's why I'm acting out.

Now back to the status quo, let me ask in a more subtle approach

All that you typed above, is that all you could deduce so far from the story?

Me think a penalty(punishment) is over due for criminal at such as this. Only in Nigeria will callous act such as dis be permissible. Only in Nigeria.

What I deduced is that a quack was allowed to construct a building using substandard materials without adequate measurements.

I believe the reason you took umbrage with my post was the reference to sourcing Fake cement from Nnnewi..

I believe you thought I was being unnecessarily tribalistic despite my reference to substandard construction practices in Nigeria as a whole

Hence my breakdown to prove that though It could have happened anywhere, this was a very 'Igbo' incident...and as such I wasnt Tribal bashing..

No offence Meant wink

It's sad to see that there are some yoruba people on this forum that smile when easterners die so that they can battle on the internet....... It seems 'bad news' from other regions is always met with cheer.....


have some compassion for your fellow man, it's what separates us from beasts.
