Scores of persons taking
refuge at an uncompleted six-storey building said to belong to the daughter of
the Esama of Benin Kingdom, Chief Gabriel Igbinedion, Mrs Philomena Igbinedion,
escaped death on Saturday evening when the building collapsed shortly after
they left the location. The building which is located at
No 1, Boundary Road in the Government Reservation Area (GRA), Benin City, was
said to have been under construction for the past 10 years. It also shares the
same premises with Dunamis Gospel Church International, one of the fast-growing
Pentecostal churches.
The
collapsed building attracted a large crowd around the neighbourhood who feared
that some persons might have been trapped in the rubble. It was however
gathered that nobody was in the building when it came crashing down. The cause
of the collapse could not be immediately ascertained and attempts to get
workers at the premises to comment on the incident were unsuccessful.
