A building collapse occurred at Pentagon Lodge near the Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ikwo, Ebonyi State on Friday.
Students witnessed the incident, with one student captured on video expressing concern over the lodge's collapse, saying, "See my lodge is falling, all my properties are inside."
A video clip of the incident, seen by ENYIMBA FM, showed the moment the three-storey building collapsed.
As of the time of filing this report, it was not clear whether there were causalities as details of the collapse are still emerging.
A student, who spoke on telephone, simply said that students in that particular lodge had earlier noticed the cracks on the walls and some had already moved out of the facility before the collapse.
"Only properties inside the building are likely those of students that traveled out of the town," the source said.
Recently there were reports of building collapses in Ebonyi State, including a three-storey building under construction near the Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital.
