Police in Nigeria have declared a popular UK-based blogger wanted in connection with a case involving cyber-stalking, abduction and murder. The death toll from a building that collapsed last Monday in South Africa's southern coastal city of George has reached 24, local authorities say.
In a statement, police also accused Dorcas Adeyinka of injurious falsehood, threat to life and extortion. Efforts are still continuing to rescue and recover 28 other people who remain trapped under the rubble.
The police did not provide more details on the accusations which the blogger is yet to comment on. Among those still trapped is Florence Kawunga, a 19-year-old woman who had been employed at the site as a cleaner, her family told privately owned News24 website.
Members of the public were urged to arrest and hand over the suspect to the police. Eighty-one people were in the partially constructed five-storey building when it went down.
The police described her as a married Yoruba blogger who lives in the UK but frequently visits Nigeria. Out of the 29 survivors who have been rescued,13 remain hospitalised.
The description of the suspect has sparked reactions on social media. The cause of the collapse is being investigated.
The rescue effort includes 200 people with sniffer dogs, heavy lifting equipment and a search removing concrete blocks and debris by hand.
