Three persons whose identity were yet-to-be unraveled have reportedly does in a building collapse in Aba, the commercial nerve of Abia State.
The incident, our correspondent gathered, happened at A line, Ariaria International Market on Tuesday where the state government is carrying out a demolition exercise geared towards giving Ariaria a face lift.
Eyewitnesses told our correspondent who visited the scene of the incident, that deceased persons, whose names they couldn’t give, were people scavenging iron from the demolition site.
A source who gave his name as Theo narrating the incident said that the deceased persons and the survivor had gone into the partially demolished structure to take refuge an afternoon downpour when the building collapsed on them, killing three persons on the spot.
“When it started raining, they (four of them) rushed into the building to take refuge.
“They were warned to leave there because it is unsafe for them as part of the building had already being demolished.
“They ignored the advice. Not too long, there was a sound and behold, it was the building they were warned to leave earlier.
“We don’t know why those demolishing refused to pull down the entire building while they were pulling down others.”
