On Saturday, a tragic incident occurred in the Sabon Lugbe area of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, as a building collapsed, leaving an estimated 40 people trapped under the rubble.

The collapse has prompted a swift response from local residents and emergency services, who are working tirelessly to rescue those still buried beneath the debris.

The building, reportedly under construction, collapsed in the early hours, prompting calls for immediate intervention from government agencies and emergency response teams.

Witnesses at the scene have expressed urgency for additional support to aid ongoing rescue efforts.

“No fewer than 40 persons are currently trapped in a building collapse that occurred in the Sabon Lugbe area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. People are under this rubble. It is a building under construction. We are calling on the government and relevant agencies to come and rescue those who are trapped here,” an eyewitness said.

This latest building collapse in Abuja’s Sabon Lugbe area comes on the heels of a similar incident in the city’s Kubwa district just weeks ago. In that case, a section of a two-storey residential building collapsed, prompting fears of multiple individuals trapped under the rubble. Ultimately, four people were rescued from the debris, with an unconfirmed number initially feared missing.
