At least four siblings died in a collapsed building at Mgbemena, Coal Camp, Enugu North Local Government Area of Enugu state.
The incident followed Friday’s heavy downpour that affected the wall of the building.
Hon. Uche Anya, the chairman of the Enugu Capital Territory Development Agency (ECTDA), visited the scene of the collapse and expressed his condolences.
He said the structure, originally approved for animal husbandry, had been converted into a residential building.
Anya expressed concerns over the unsuitability of the collapsed building for human habitation.
He stated the structure consisted of 44 rooms.
“We immediately responded to the incident upon receiving the information. Unfortunately, four children lost their lives in this tragic event,” Anya said.
