At least, over 60 persons on Thursday escaped death in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State capital following the sudden collapse of Metro View Hotel, one of the popular hotels in the State.

The hotel is located close to Presco Campus of Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki in the heart of the city.

A member of the hotel management, Chief Austine Orji , who spoke to journalists on behalf of the hotel said they had noticed a crack on some of the pillars holding the building and they immediately cordoned off the side of the building and started renovations, adding that it was in the process of the renovation that the building collapsed.

Orji said those who lodged in the hotel were outside the building for a seminar when the incident happened, stressing that no life was lost.

Meanwhile, the governor of Ebonyi State, Chief David Umahi, through the Special Assistant (SA) on Capital Territory on Thursday has ordered for the immediate closure of the affected hotel.

Okoro stated further that the Hotel would remain sealed pending the outcome of investigation by the government.

Thickmatch gathered that the said hotel was commissioned on the 28th May 2005 by the former governor, Martin Elechi.

Who do we blame?

Collapse building?? Greediness of the owner, contractor or both together

Thank GOD no life was lost. The government needs to do more in building construction especially the ones by developers.

Wow! Thank God!

What is our sin in this Country, every State is blood Blood Blood.

COREN has to step up in certifying half-baked engineers as well as spread its net to adequately monitor and supervise all structural projects across the nation.

Too many things are falling apart in this country.

They used that thing to weaken the foundation

God is angry with Nigerians. Especially those who constantly say "God bless Nigeria"

When will govt establish a body regulating building of structures in this country?

People will just call cheap local bricklayers to build houses where humans will be living.

All is well with them

Thank God nobody died.
That's how it normally ends in Africa: No investigations, no arrests, no corrections.
