Students of the Federal Polytechnic, Oko, in Anambra State, accuse private hostel operators of ignoring safety concerns before a three-storey building collapse on Sunday night. Multiple reports say the building housed students and other residents, including those living at Elite Five Star Lodge near Tonimas Filling Station in Amokpala, Oko, within Orumba North Local Government Area. Students interviewed after the incident claim there were repeated complaints about structural defects and safety risks, but the landlord and caretaker allegedly failed to address them. They also allege negligence on the part of the building’s management, describing the hostel as dilapidated. One account states students are calling for arrests over the collapse. The reports focus on student allegations regarding prior warnings and the response by the hostel’s owners and caretaker, rather than providing confirmed findings on the cause of the collapse. Both outlets describe the collapse as the trigger for the accusations and for student demands for accountability.
