Many Injured As Two-Storey Building Collapses [PHOTOS]
A two-storey building under construction has collapsed in Calabar Municipality, the Cross River State capital leaving many trapped and injured on Saturday.
Consequently, an unspecified number of persons injured in the incident have been rescued and taken to medical facilities for treatment as no death has so far been recorded from the building collapse.
Meanwhile, preliminary investigations into the incident indicate that the cause of the building collapse is not unconnected to negligence and use of sub-standard building materials which had earlier attracted the attention of the State Ministry of Urban Renewal to issue the Builder an advisory “Stop Work Notice”, which were altogether ignored by the builder.
Furthermore, a statement from the State Ministry of Information and Orientation, signed by Mr Eric Iso Anderson, has assured residents of maximum concerns, assistance and full investigation into the incident to avoid reoccurrence.

In an update on Sunday, April 30, the commissioner said that 13 workers were at the site before the incident but only 10 were there when the incident happened as three took a break.
“The people originally working at the site were 13 but three took a break before the incident, so only 10 were on the ground when the building collapsed. We can account for the 10 persons but the security guard told us that a boy was seen at the site seconds before the collapse,”
