Collapsed building buries pregnant woman, injures others in Enugu [PHOTOS]

A pregnant woman was on Sunday buried in the rubble of a 4-bedroom bungalow which collapsed in Enugu.
It also left the victim’s husband and several others injured.
The incident, which occurred at about 10 pm shortly after the victims had gone to bed was caused by eruption in a nearby hill.
It was gathered that the bungalow, located at Ologo, New Site in Enugu North Local Government of Enugu State collapsed when some parts of a hill surrounding all the houses in the area fell on top of buildings in the area.
A resident of the area told DailyPost that the late pregnant woman identified as Chinasa Chukwuka was buried inside the house by the rubbles.
The resident further stated that all efforts to unearth the woman alive proved abortive, adding that her husband, Emeka Chukwuka became unconscious after sympathisers managed to pull him out.
The owner of the collapsed building, Mr Joseph Nwoye from Ebonyi State told DailyPost that he discussed with Mr. Chukwuka before the incident occurred.

He said he told the tenants, including the husband of the late pregnant woman to find another accommodation last week when some stones from the hill destroyed parts of the house after a heavy rain.
He further disclosed that the late pregnant woman had prior to the sad development rejected the alternative accommodation he got for them, on the grounds that she did not like it.
Nwoye, who was overtaken by grief stated that the incident happened few minutes after he had discussed the accommodation issue with the husband of the late woman.
According to him, “after discussing with her husband, I went inside to sleep and shortly after that, I heard a loud noise and we came out to discover that the house has collapsed. The pregnant woman died on the spot. My son fainted after the incident. It was raining heavily when it happened.
“After we heard a loud noise, we ran out and pulled out Mr Emeka Chukwuka alive. I bought the land in 2010. The 2nd tenant, Cyril Jaja sustained injury. I have asked them to find another place before”.
