At least three persons have died after a section of the Stephen Keshi International Stadium, Asaba, the Delta State capital under construction collapsed.

 

The incident happened on Thursday.

 

Punch reported that the structure under construction ahead of the National Sports Festival scheduled to hold at the stadium this year was recently inspected by the Minister of Sports and Youths Development, Sunday Dare.

 

Although, the cause of the collapse is yet to be ascertained but it was learnt that it would not be unconnected to the rush of the construction to meet the deadline for delivery of the project for use.
