A civil engineer has been arrested on Sunday after a project he was handling that involved a water tank, fell and killed two persons
His arrest was confirmed by the Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin on Tuesday, who also advised members of the public against the use of unqualified engineers.
“A water tank under renovation fell through the roof of an adjoining building, instantly killing two brothers, leaving their mother and one other person injured.
