Hostel Collapse: Missing occupants may still be under debris — Anambra Govt

The Anambra State government holds grave concerns that additional individuals might still be trapped within the debris of a collapsed three-storey student hostel. Rescue operations are persisting with the commitment to locate and account for every missing person.

Mr. Chijioke Ojukwu, the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, stated that the search and rescue efforts would not cease until all individuals unaccounted for are found. The collapse of the hostel, which was reportedly housing students, has raised urgent questions about building safety and structural integrity in the region.

Officials are working diligently at the site, sifting through the rubble in a race against time. The focus remains on extricating any potential survivors and providing support to the families of those affected by the disaster. The full extent of the casualties and the cause of the collapse are expected to be determined as the investigation progresses.
