The workers told journalists at the construction site that they were working when they heard a caving sound and jumped down from the upstairs, where they were working.
A former member of the Enugu State House of Assembly, who is a neighbour to the collapsed building, told journalists that the affected building belongs to the Speaker of the Enugu State House of Assembly, Hon. Edward Ubochi.

Members of the gathering crowd, who surged to catch a glimpse the collapsed building, blamed the incident on poor quality materials used for the building.
