A two storey building under construction has collapsed in Ifite Awka, Awka South Local Government Area.

 

This is coming barely less than a day after Dubai Lodge also in Ifite Awka collapsed.

The building is located at Number nineteen Clement Ezeodili Street Ifite Awka.

 

Speaking to the ABS on the condition of anonymity, a resident of the street regretted that the developer has been building the house for the past one decade and that the residents of the street had been warning the contractor of the danger of what he is doing but he ignored them.

Another resident who also chose not to mention her name said that they were aware that the building will collapse, because of the style the developer has adopted in constructing the house, and thanked God that nobody was living in the building.

ABS news crew also observed that there are many buildings on top of water drainage around the area, including a Montessori school, a development that poses another imminent danger in the vicinity.
