Some residents escaped unhurt as a scaffold holding four water (Geepee) tanks collapsed on Sunday night, destroying parts of a four-storey building at Oba, Anambra State.
The Guardian learnt that the incident happened at about 9:00 p.m., as some residents of the building prepared to go to bed.It was gathered that the crash caused a loud noise, which shook the premises and sent frightened occupants of the building scampering for safety.
An eyewitness, Unuebho Israel, told The Guardian that the overhead tanks collapsed due to weight issues, adding that there were no casualties.
“The building was seriously damaged. The collapse sent shock waves down the spines of the occupants,” he said.
