Happening now: The newly constructed Rivers Bridge that Tinubu recently commissioned for Governor Wike has collapsed
A community leader, Jones Agbaka, lamented the situation, describing it as a serious calamity to the thousands of road users.
Agbaka called on the Federal Government and the Federal Road Maintenance Agency (FERMA) to quickly mobilise to address the situation.
Solomon Enwenede, one of the early callers at the scene, wondered why no attempt was made by the Federal Controller of Works in the state to do mandatory safety checks on the bridge to avoid the collapse.
