Dozens feared killed, others trapped as Abuja high-rise building collapses

A multi-storey building collapsed at Lagos Street in Garki, Abuja killing about 37 people while many others are trapped on Wednesday.

Confirming the incident, the Federal Emergency Management Authority said that 37 people had been rescued, while two were fatally injured.

The Director General of FEMA, Dr Abbass Idriss, in a quick release on Thursday morning, said the 37 rescued persons had all been taken to various medical facilities in Abuja, and that rescue efforts were ongoing, in collaboration with other rescue agencies.
“37 persons were rescued alive, while 2 others were fatally injured. Meanwhile, FEMA Search and Rescue team are awaiting excavators to intensify the search to ensure that no victim is left in the rubble of the collapsed building”.
“A combined team of the FCT Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Federal Road Safety Corps,(FRSC),FCT Police Command, and the VIO are on the ground to carry out the rescue efforts”.

An eyewitness who was at the scene confirmed to an online platform (not The PUNCH) that the building housed many apartments, while the ground floor was full of shops.

He said the building collapsed during the downpour which started around 11 pm on Wednesday.

According to him, “There was wailing all over the place after the building collapsed. Dozens of people are either dead or trapped as the building is fully occupied.

“It was a scene of helplessness with people screaming and going helter-skelter, while the heavy rain continues,” he added.

As of the time of filing this report, officials of emergency agencies were yet to arrive at the scene of the incident.

E don start

Better pay a professional Engr like me high and save sustainable cost or pay a quack low and save short time cost

Abandoned building is better than a collapsed one.

If you don't have the time to do it better now, you will sure bring out extra time to redo it again at higher cost.

Now with Wike at the helms of affairs, let's see if he can change the narrative though I doubt if Wike knows how to access the integrity of a structure using the success metrics
