No fewer than 20 workers narrowly escaped death after a two-storey building under construction collapsed in Umuoji, Idemili North Local Government Area, Anambra State.
The incident caused panic among residents and passers-by.
It was gathered that the workers at the site narrowly escaped death on Monday evening when the structure began caving in after loud cracking sounds were heard from the walls.
When our correspondent visited the scene on Wednesday, it was observed that the building, reportedly intended to serve as a hotel, had tilted dangerously to different sides after partially collapsing.
