Four persons including an 18-month-old baby, Osinachi Nnabu have been confirmed dead while six others were rescued alive from a three-storey building collapse in Imo state.
The incident occurred on Sunday morning at No.9 Egbu road, by fire service junction in Owerri.
It was gathered that the building collapse is due to structural defect as the landlord is alleged to have added two more floors to the building without approval.
Also killed in the incident was a three-year-old boy, Amara; and two adults whose identities were yet to be ascertained as of the time of writing the report.
Meanwhile, as a result of the collapse, the Imo State government has instructed that all ongoing building construction should go for re-verification before completion.
The Imo State Police Commissioner, Chris Ezike, noted that no arrest has been made but the landlord of the building is currently at large.
Here are some of the photos from the incident.
