Rhino Homes Reacts to Props Failure at Ekeoha-Aba Shopping Centre

Rhino Homes, the official developer and concessionaire of the Ekeoha-Aba Shopping Centre, has reacted to the minor props failure recorded on Tuesday during the ongoing construction of Block D at the site. Rhino Homes wishes to categorically clarify that, contrary to reports circulating in some quarters, there was no structural collapse at the site.
