Dead body recovered, many trapped as building collapses in Anambra

From Ifeoma Ejiofor, Nnewi

A dead body was recovered on Tuesday, while search is still going on at the site of a collapsed building in Anambra State.

The building which is still under construction is located near Ochanja Market in Onitsha, trapping yet-to-be-ascertained number of persons, most of whom are said to be labourers working at the site.

An eye witness who pleaded for anonymity claimed that the suspected reason for the building collapse could be attributed to substandard materials being used for the construction and poor mixtures.

A caterpillar has however commenced evacuation of the rubbles of the collapsed building, in search of the trapped persons.

As at the time of filing this report,  efforts were still ongoing to rescue the trapped persons.
