Three workers were rescued on Wednesday following the collapse of a three-story building in Anambra State.
The building, which was at the roofing stage, was located near Diamond Pizza, opposite Five Star Eatery, along the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway in Awka.
The incident occurred around 5:25 PM, and fortunately, no lives were lost.
A local resident who witnessed the collapse described hearing a series of thunderous sounds. Upon rushing out to investigate, they found the building had completely caved in.
Rescue efforts began immediately, with victims being pulled from the rubble. Passersby and commuters joined the operation, offering assistance to the injured.
Officials from the Awka Capital Territory Development Authority (ACTDA) have since visited the site.
The agency has established a panel of inquiry to investigate the immediate and underlying causes of the collapse and has assured the public that further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
