The building, reportedly under construction, collapsed in the early hours, prompting calls for immediate intervention from government agencies and emergency response teams.

Witnesses at the scene have expressed urgency for additional to aid ongoing rescue efforts.

“No fewer than 40 persons are currently trapped in a building collapse that occurred in the Sabon Lugbe area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. 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,” an eyewitness said.

This incident comes just weeks after a section of a two-storey residential building collapsed in Abuja’s Kubwa area. In that case, four people were rescued, while an unconfirmed number of others were initially feared trapped. The Kubwa building was located close to Cupid Hotel on Sultan Dasuki Way.

That's tough

Wasted generation. Everyone is cutting corners and corruption is ingrained.

Easy cash, lack of human empathy and the lure of money have put blood on the hands of many people.

And the repercussions will come..... certainly

This is tragic! It's crucial for authorities to enforce strict building regulations to prevent such disasters. My thoughts are with those trapped and their families. For more updates on this situation, visit The Bureau Newspaper here.
