Approximately 40 individuals are reportedly trapped under the rubble of a collapsed storey building in Sabon Lugbe, a suburban community in Abuja.
The tragic incident occurred around 5 PM on Saturday while the victims were still inside the structure.
Videos circulating on social media, particularly on X, show residents urgently attempting to rescue those trapped beneath the debris.
As the community rallies together to aid in the rescue efforts, the situation remains critical.
As of the latest updates, it remains unclear if emergency services have arrived on the scene to assist with the rescue operations.
Efforts to contact Nkechi Isa, the Head of Public Affairs for the FCT Emergency Management Department, have been unsuccessful.
Authorities are expected to provide further updates as the situation develops.
