An unspecified number of people have been trapped in a building under construction at Ochanja Market in Onitsha, Anambra State, which collapsed around 8 pm on Monday.
The collapsed structure, intended to serve as a market upon completion, still contained workers at the time of the incident.
As of Tuesday, reports suggest one person has been tragically killed, and two others sustained injuries of varying severity. Rescue efforts are underway, with passers-by and residents actively participating in the attempts to extract victims from the rubble.
The exact details surrounding the incident remain unclear, adding to the ongoing challenges of the rescue operation. Despite efforts to gather more information, the situation is complicated by the lack of confirmation from the state police spokesman, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga, who, as of the time of filing this report, has not responded to inquiries sent to his telephone.
The community remains on edge as the rescue operation continues, awaiting updates and official statements to shed light on the full extent of this unfortunate event.
