IMO BUILDING COLLAPSE DEATH TOLL 4: UPDATE ON THE 8 STOREY BUILDING COLLAPSE IN IMO STATE WHICH HAPPENED ON THE 30TH MAY 2020

The General Manager of the Owerri Capital Development Authority (OCDA), Engr. Innocent Ikpamezie, said the developers of the collapsed eight storey building in Owerri failed to supply them with details of the construction papers and approvals.

Engr. Ikpamezie said the agency requested for the papers from the developers weeks before the building collapsed, according to a statement issued on Saturday by Oguwike Nwachuku, Chief Press Secretary and Media Adviser to Governor Hope Uzodinma.

The OCDA boss said the inability to obtain the papers led to the shifting of the date of inspection to Tuesday, May 5, before the building collapsed.

So far 12 people were rescued and only four death recorded after the eight storey building collapsed on Thursday along Yar’Adua Drive in Owerri.

The Governor of Imo State Hope Uzodimma, according to the statement, commiserated with families and victims of the incident and promised a full investigation.

The governor also expressed his displeasure at the avoidable incident that resulted in the loss of lives and property, when he visited the scene on Friday.



He warned that under no circumstance should such structure be erected without appropriate approval, monitoring and supervision by the Owerri Capital Development Authority (OCDA) and all other agencies charged with such responsibility.

The governor noted that the building suffered avoidable structural defects coupled with sub-standard building materials used in the construction by the engineers.

Uzodimma assured that the contractor and construction firm would be brought to book after proper investigation was conducted.

“This is a very sad event. Observed that construction work was going on against the directive for total lockdown.
