Many Trapped As Building Collapses In Abuja
Four people have been rescued after a section of a two-storey residential apartment collapsed in Abuja on Saturday morning, with several people trapped in the rubble.
This comes less than 24 hours after a school building collapsed on pupils in Plateau State, killing 22 and injuring one hundred and thirty-two persons.
It is also eleven days after another building collapsed at Unity House, Area 11, Garki, in Abuja.
One person is still trapped in the rubble of the residential building located in the Kubwa area of the Federal Capital Territory, which caved in the early hours of Saturday morning.
As the rescue operation continues, emergency responders and security personnel are on the ground.
The building named AL-HALAL APARTMENT was initially a hospital but later converted to an apartment.
Information as to why the building collapsed is still sketchy as at press time but no life has been lost so far.
