Five storey building under construction in Onitsha collapses

A five storey building under construction on Wednesday collapsed in Onitsha, Anambra State.

Sources said the building collapsed around 7:15 am.

DAILY POST was unable to confirm if there were casualties in the incident which occurred at at DMGS Junction, close to the popular Dennis Memorial Grammar School.

โ€œI was going to work this morning when I saw it. The entire building came down in rubbles.

โ€œI donโ€™t think there were casualties in the building because work was not ongoing on the project this morning.

โ€œThe cause of the collapse has not been ascertained, but many bystanders who watched from across the road suspected that it may be as a result of use of substandard materials,โ€ the source said.
