No fewer than 40 people are reportedly trapped under the rubble of a storey building which collapsed at Sabon Lugbe, a suburban community in Abuja.
According to reports, the collapse occurred around 5 pm on Saturday, while the victims were still inside the building.
In multiple videos circulated on social media, particularly X, residents are seen attempting to rescue the trapped victims from the rubble.
At the time of filing this report, it was unclear whether emergency services were present at the scene to assist in the rescue efforts. Our correspondent was also unable to reach the Head of Public Affairs of the FCT Emergency Management Department, Nkechi Isa, despite several attempts.
