Three people have reportedly lost their lives at the demolition site for the proposed Enugu Central Station along Ogui-Market Road in the Enugu North Council Area of the state.
The deceased who were said to be scavengers, were reported to have died when walls of demolishing property fell on them.
It gathered that 2 persons died on Friday while one other person died on Saturday in a similar manner. An eyewitness told newsmen that the 2 who died on Friday, were evacuating some properties in one of the houses where occupants were chased out when a earth moving equipment knocked the house and the wall fell on them.
“They were rushed to the Mother of Specialist Hospital but on getting to the hospital doctors pronounced them dead.
On Saturday, around 11:30am another person was hit and killed by falling debris from one of the several storey buildings,”
