A building collapse in Anambra State has killed a nursing mother.

The incident happened in Obosi, near Onitsha, in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.

Fortunately, the victim’s six-month-old baby was reportedly rescued alive while many others are suspected to be trapped in the debris.

A few other survivors were also pulled out from the wreckage.

Police spokesperson in the state, Haruna Mohammed, a superintendent of police, said the deceased had been deposited at a morgue.

He said investigations were ongoing on the incident.

Mr Mohammed said the police and other security agencies had cordoned off the building site while efforts were being made to rescue those suspected to be trapped in the building.

“On Sunday, a one-storey building suddenly collapsed at Umuota village, Obosi town in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State.

“The scene was visited and cordoned off by the police attached to Obosi Division and other security agencies in order to prevent hoodlums from gaining advantage to loot while efforts are ongoing to rescue other victims suspected to have been trapped in the building.
