A section of the roof of the ongoing upper-floor construction at the main Jumu’ah Mosque of the Emir of Zazzau’s palace collapsed to the ground during concrete pouring.

Our correspondent in Zaria reported that part of the roof formwork for the upper-floor concrete casting fell down.

Investigation revealed that some labourers were taken to the hospital, but no lives were lost.

All efforts to speak with the chief engineer to hear from him, but the person in charge of the construction site gate told us the engineer had gone to the hospital.

Meanwhile, the spokesman for the Zazzau Emirate Council, Malam Abdullahi Aliyu Kwarbai, said they are aware of the incident but he could not comment further because the work is under the supervision of a company.
