One Killed, Many Injured As another Building Collapses in Anambra by Nobody: 9:12am On Sep 27, 2014 |
One person was killed and about 20 others sustained injuries when a three-storey building under construction collapsed at Eziora village, Adazi-Ani in Anaocha local council area of Anambra yesterday. The building, jointly owned by Mr. Uche Okeke and his five siblings who are children of the transport magnet, Chief GU Okeke, was at the completion stage when it collapsed. It was gathered that over 25 persons were working on the site when the incident occurred and at the time of filing this report, one person was still trapped under the rubble. Okeke, who spoke to reporters said: “It is a sad thing and we are still confused over the incident because we awarded the contract over a year ago to a professional. We have spent millions of naira on the project and we were not in doubt that quality materials were used in the construction. “One worker was still trapped and we immediately ordered for earth moving equipment from Onitsha to remove the rubbles to save his life. “We reported to the Police immediately and they helped us in the rescue mission. Unfortunately, the man under the rubble died before he could be rescued.” According to him, the body of the deceased had been deposited at St. Joseph’s Hospital mortuary at Adazi- Nnukwu. One of the labourers, who identified himself as Mr. Olisa Obaze, said he broke his knee cap in an attempt to jump down from the three-storey building. He said: “We were carrying blocks upstairs when we suddenly heard a large crack sound. We scampered for safety and I had to jump from the three-storey building. After the incident, we started calling on our members and realized that one man was still under the debris.” Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Uchenna Ezeh said that full investigation into the matter has begun.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/09/one-killed-many-injured-another-building-collapses-anambra/ |

Well at least nobody is trying to claim that UFOs flying over the improperly built house were the cause of its collapse. |

Anambra state has the worst Building constructing Engineers on planet earth. Collapsed buildings aren't new things in Anambra. Buildings collapsing in Anambra since Nigeria's Independence! |

Even in those days when mud and woods were used to build upstairs, it wasn't like this. |

Bobbystanley: Anambra state has the worst Building constructing Engineers on planet earth. Its high time the cement and building materials industry be scrutinised. Most of those buildings at Upper Iweka were constructed in the 70s and 80s and none has collapsed 40 years later and it was done by less experienced workers and less access to modern technology. Why has building collapse suddenly become a household thing in the past 5 years? I think Dangote and other cement manufacturers need to be probed. 1 Like |

Did they look to the skies? They probably missed something. They need to invest in CCTVs it could be the difference between a murder charge and a let off. RIP to the dead. |

[size=20pt]Someone, please do a quality check on the cement in our Nigerian markets. Randomly choose bags and extract a little cement for quality checks.Then re-seal the bags and put a stamp that it has been checked by government so that people can still buy it. How come old buildings never collapse, but all new buildings being built with the type of cement now in our market continue to collapse?[/size] 1 Like |
