Rescue Operation Continues As 4 Storey Building Collapse In Abuja

July 3, 2023

Nine persons have been rescued from a four-storey building that collapsed in the Life Camp Area of Abuja on Monday, July 3.

The building, under construction at the time of the collapse, had many workers trapped in it.

According to a report, there were about 20 people in the building, which was said to have an underground facility.

Officials of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Fire Service, National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA), among other response teams, were at the scene to conduct rescue operations.

Building collapse has become a recurring incident in the FCT.

On Wednesday, April 19, two persons died in a building collapse in the Wuse 2 area of the FCT.

On Thursday, February 2, a three-storey building, still under construction, collapsed in the Gwarimpa area of the FCT, killing three persons.

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) subsequently revoked the allocation for the plot on which the building was being constructed.

Also, in 2022, at least two people died when a building housing a shopping mall collapsed in the Kubwa area of the FCT.
