Tragedy struck in Asaba Delta State capital
Thursday night as a high rise building suddenly collapsed.
The Town Hall Media gathered that the building under construction is located at Inter Bau Round About, directly opposite Shoprite complex.
Details are still sketchy as at time of filing in this report but traffic has been diverted and entire area cordoned by both the Police, Army and other security agencies.
Unconfirmed report said that the collapsed multi billion edifice under construction is owned by an oil magnet, owner of RainOil Group, Chief Gabriel Ogbechie.
It will be recalled that there was an existing hotel there before which was demolished before the erection of the present 20-storey.
O
n whether there were casualties, it was not immediately gathered as security agents prevented people from getting close except rescue workers from the State Emergency Management Agency sited from afar.
