Ekosodin Building Collapse: Owner’s Greed Blamed for Structural Failure
Fortunately, no fatalities were recorded in the building collapse, though several individuals sustained injuries.
Remarkably, all the affected residents managed to escape the wreckage with the help of passersby and neighbors. The building in question wasn’t heavily occupied due to its deteriorating condition.
Originally constructed as a simple storey building, the owner decided to expand it by adding two additional storeys, turning the structure into a high-rise tower.
However, the construction was still ongoing at the time of the collapse.
The ill-advised expansion seems to have overburdened the original foundation, which was only designed to support a single storey.
The police have arrived at the scene and are currently investigating the situation.
Questions are now being raised about the owner’s decision to extend the building far beyond its initial design, especially in a neighborhood like Ekosodin, where demand for housing has skyrocketed.
With rental prices soaring, the temptation to maximize space and profits has led some property owners to cut corners in construction.
The incident serves as a cautionary tale: the building was intended for a modest structure, but in the quest for financial gain, safety was compromised.
Ekosodin’s housing market is so competitive that people seem willing to take dangerous risks to profit from the demand, but as this case shows, such shortcuts can lead to near-disaster.
