National Assembly members from Ebonyi South Senatorial Zone have commiserated with the family of the three siblings who died in a recent building collapse in the state.
The lawmakers, who spoke on the incident, are Senator Ama Nnachi and Hon. Livinus Makwe of Ebonyi South Senatorial Zone and Ohaozara, Onicha and Ivo Federal Constituency, respectively.
The NASS members in their separate statements also commiserated with the people of Akaeze Community over the death of the three siblings in last Friday’s building collapse.
The Nation had reported how three children of one Sunday Okereke from Akaeze Community in Ivo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State lost their lives, when a dilapidated building in the community caved in and fell on them.
The victims include 11-year-old Mmesoma; Onyinyechi, 5 and 3-year-old John.
The victims’ mother, Elizabeth and another sibling survived the incident and are now receiving treatment in hospital for injuries they sustained.
Makwe described the incident as a sad one. He also prayed for quick recovery for those injured.
He said:”I received with sadness the report of the building collapse in Akaeze, Ivo Local Government Area, the death of three children of the Okereke family in a building collapse.
“My prayers are with the family and the entire community of Akaeze in your moment of grief.”
He also prayed for eternal rest for those who died even as he wished the injured victims quick recovery.
Senator Nnachi, who echoed similar sentiments, also prayed that never again would such a disaster visit any family in the zone and Ebonyi State in general.
