A Three Storey Building has partially collapsed at the popular Bende Street in old Port Harcourt township, Rivers State.

The Building which is situated at No. 112 Bende Street caved in at about 2.00am on Wednesday, June 29.

The building which was constructed over seven decades ago, has been in a deplorable state for the past four years.

A witness said no life was lost just as there were no occupant in the building.

"The building was one of the oldest building in Port Harcourt known as colonial building. I believe it’s one of the abandoned properties in Port Harcourt after the civil war. It caved in at about 2.00am Wednesday but no life was lost. There were no occupant in the building as of the time it collapsed” the witness said.

Spokesperson of the State Police Command, Iringe Grace Koko, who confirmed the incident, said there was no occupant in the building before it collapsed.

Meanwhile, officials of the Ministry of Urban Development and Physical Planning are currently working with the owners of the property to pull it down completely to forestall any further disaster.

Bad news again

You get mind i swear


After Lagos, is port Harcourt in times building collapses. Why

It is an abandoned old building but people who couldn't afford accommodation are living there, no casualty.

Children that cannot maintain the properties of their late parents should do the needful by selling it to someone that can maintain the properties.

But in Africa, we mostly see it as "taboo" to sell family inheritance.

That is one reason why we see issues like this.

Same way this hellhole will collapse soon.

In some parts of Europe, this is an asset.
It would have undergone several interior renovations while the exterior will still have the old school look.
