Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Anambra State Police Command has confirmed the collapse of a five-storey building under construction at Basden Street in Fegge, Onitsha.<\/p>\n

The Command\u2019s DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the incident to newsmen on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur operatives are currently there now, though the details are still sketchy, as soon as I get the full details I will get back to you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

An eyewitness, who doesn\u2019t want his name mentioned, said that the building was meant for commercial purposes on completion.<\/p>\n

He said that the building collapsed in the early hours of Sunday while some of the construction workers were on the last floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe building started from the fifth floor to collapse. The building is at the finishing touches and the fifth floor was almost finished when it collapsed and other floors followed suit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are about two workers in the building that are trapped and those injured have been rushed to undisclosed hospitals,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

The Public Relations Officer of Anambra State Emergency Management Agency, Chinyere Nwoye, said that they were yet to be informed about the collapsed building.<\/p>\n

The incident happened barely two weeks after another building collapsed, killing five persons in Ochanja Market, Onitsha.<\/p>\n
