A three-storey building under construction on Sunday went down at Ezeluike Street, Olympic Layout, off One Day, Agbani Road, Awkunanaw, Enugu South.
Though there is no record of casualties, information available is that the collapsed three-storey building was one of the buildings Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA) had marked “Stop-Work” since last year November.
The information also revealed that ECTDA does not issue approval at Olympic Layout where the building collapsed and would have demolished the property last week but suspended action in compliance with the lockdown and other proactive safety measures aimed at containing the spread of COVID-19 in the state. ECTDA, FRSC, Fire Service and Red Cross were quickly on the ground for rescue operations.
