Edward Nnachi, AbakalikiA three-storey building under construction at the Nkaliki area of Abakaliki, in the Abakaliki Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, has collapsed. While the SSG directed the immediate sealing off of the site and demolition of remaining parts of the building, Emegha ordered the arrest of the site engineer. Onwe stated, “The engineer attached to the building did not do any professional work. Every building has a town planner, an engineer and a professional builder attached to it, but in the course of construction, these people compromise. “We will trace the file to know if it was actually approved for three-storey and if it followed the stipulated standards.
