As of the time of filing this report, it was not clear whether there were causalities as details of the collapse are still emerging.

A student, also said that students in that particular lodge had earlier noticed the cracks on the walls and some had already moved out of the facility before the collapse.

“Only properties inside the building are likely those of students that traveled out of the town,” the source said.

Recently there were reports of building collapses in Ebonyi State, including a three-storey building under construction near the Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital.

In the construction building collapse, two persons were trapped and later rescued, with one labourer escaping due to stepping out to wash his hands before the collapse.
