construction, is located on an estate around Nkpokiti junction at
Independence Layout, Enugu.

also gathered that some of the construction workers, who were working
at the site, sustained injuries but no life was lost in the incident.

Development Authority said the agency had in August 2016, given an order
for work to stop in all the buildings on the estate.

regrets that the order was flouted, despite the fact that most of the
owners of the buildings under construction are lawmakers.
As at the time of filing this report, the reaction of Speaker Edward Ubosi was still awaited.
