The Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Department (FEMD) says four persons have been rescued alive from the rubbles of a collapsed two-storey building in Kubwa, Abuja, on Saturday.

Wenegieme said that the building was located beside Cupid Hotel, Sultan Dasuki Road, Phase 2, Site 2, Kubwa, in Bwari Area Council of the FCT.

She explained that the collapsed building contained 45 self-contained rooms, adding that it was previously used as a hotel before it was converted for residential purposes.

Wenegieme said that two of the rescued victims had been taken to the Kubwa General Hospital and were currently receiving treatment.

“FEMD was notified of the incident by passersby and also received a distress call on our 112 emergency toll-free number at about 6.45 a.m. and immediately mobilised to the scene.

“Search and rescue efforts are ongoing until the last person is removed, if at all there is still someone trapped in the rubbles,” she said.

The acting director-general said that other agencies at the scene included the National Emergency Management Agency, FCT Fire Service, Federal Road Safety Corps, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps and the Nigeria Police.

She appealed to developers to strictly follow the building code and avoid the use of substandard materials to avert the incessant building collapse in the FCT. (NAN)
