Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has called for an immediate investigation into the collapse of a two-storey building on Thursday, at Rumuoke Street, off Okilton junction in Ada George road, Port Harcourt which led to three people sustaining injuries.

Fubara in a statement by his media aide, Boniface Onyedi, said the state government must find out the immediate and remote causes of the incident.

Speaking after the inspection of the collapsed 2-storey building, the governor who was represented by the Commissioner for Special Projects, Engr. Emeka Woke, charged the relevant government agencies to immediately fish out those involved in the project.

According to him, anyone found culpable will be made to face the law.

The statement reads, “The Ministry of Urban Development is to take immediate action by conducting site investigations and site inspections

“If there is any compromise by those involved in the project, they will be prosecuted to serve as a deterrent to others.”

While sympathising with the four injured men whom he visited at the hospital, the doctors treating them also assured him that they would be discharged in a few days as they were already in stable condition.

He said the government had urgently mobilised earth-moving equipment to the site to evacuate the debris of the collapsed building while the site has been cordoned off.
