In Nigeria’s federal capital city, five persons have been rescued in Vidaz Estate within the Sabon Lugbe extension in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) where an uncompleted storey building collapsed on Saturday.
Eyewitnesses report that at least 40 people were inside the structure when it caved in, leading to a large rescue effort by residents and emergency workers, who laboured into the night to locate survivors.
Videos circulating on social media reveal a chaotic scene, with residents desperately attempting to dig through the debris with bare hands to reach those trapped below.
According to Josephine Adeh, spokesperson for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) police command, preliminary investigations indicate that the building was previously demolished by FCT authorities due to its location on illegally acquired land.
Despite its condemned status, scavengers reportedly accessed the structure to retrieve scrap metal, which may have further weakened it and contributed to the catastrophic collapse.
