Many people reportedly escaped death on Tuesday when an uncompleted five-storey building located at Ngbabor, Presco campus of Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki collapsed.
So far, no casualty has been recorded.
Sympathisers, including government officials, were seen inspecting the collapsed building.
A team of Police officers and Ebubeagu operatives were on ground to cordon off the collapsed building to avoid any form of casualty.
According to a member of the community who did not want her name in print, the building collapsed around 2:00 pm on Tuesday afternoon.
She further explained that the labourers working at the site ran away immediately after the building started vibrating and eventually collapsed.
One of the twin buildings was still standing while a part of it collapsed.
People from the area were warned by government officials not to go close to the remaining uncompleted building for their own safety.
