Several individuals remain trapped beneath the debris of a collapsed building in the Sabon Lugbe area of Abuja, Federal Capital Territory.
Details surrounding the incident remain unclear at the time of this report, though reports from social media suggest the building collapsed on Saturday evening.
“People are under this rubble. It is a building under construction.
“We are calling on the government and relevant agencies to come and rescue those who are trapped here,” a witness disclosed to newsmen.
This development follows a similar incident some days ago on Amusu Street, in the Orile Iganmu area of Lagos State, where a two-storey building collapsed.
The building as seen in a trending video, collapsed, leaving residents close to the house to seek for safety.
According to a newspaper report on July 15, 2024, Nigeria experienced 135 building collapse incidents between 2022 and July 2024.
