Two persons dead and five others or more are trapped in the rubble of a collapsed 3-storey building which was still under construction along Azikiwe road, Aba, Abia State.
As at the time of publication, there was no excavator equipment or emergency agencies to speed up the rescue efforts.
However, sympathizers and onlookers managed to wade in through some open parts of the collapsed building to rescue the survivor. Some sympathizers left the scene as hoodlums attacked those taking pictures with their phones.
The deceased persons and survivor of the collapsed building were homeless residents in Aba who usually take refuge in open buildings and similar structures, there are reports that there could be many other people trapped under the rubble.
