Building Collapse in Port Harcourt Injures Four Patrons
On Friday night, four people were injured when part of a two-storey building collapsed in the Old Port Harcourt Township area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The building, located at No. 18 Club Road, is over 60 years old.
An eyewitness reported that the parapet of the second floor broke away and fell onto the ground floor, where people were enjoying drinks at a bar. Three individuals, including a woman, were initially reported injured, but no fatalities occurred.
The incident took place around 7 pm, causing confusion among patrons. Following the collapse, residents of the building evacuated for safety concerns.
A visit to the site on Sunday revealed that debris had been cleared, but signs of the collapse remained, and the area was cordoned off with red tape by government officials who visited the scene on Saturday.
