A part of a building has reportedly collapsed and killing a child in Anambra State. This building is located at 47 Modebe Street, Onitsha, Anambra State.
According to reports, the collapsed portion is the lintel attachment to an existing structure.
It was gathered that after the sad incident, officials of the State Physical Planning Board led by the Acting General Manager, Mr Nwabufo Anene and the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Monitoring & Supervision on Lands and Physical Planning, Mrs Joy Nneli, visited the site, sealed and marked it for demolition.
Executive Chairman of the Board, Barrister Chike Maduekwe declared that such illegality cannot be allowed to exist in the State, stressing that the building will be demolished soon in line with government-stipulated laws on controlled development.
However, the developer of the collapsed structure has been arrested by the police for prosecution.
