The FCT Emergency Management Department (FEMD) has rescued two people from a collapsed building in Kubwa.
Nkechi Isa, the department’s Head of Media and Public Relations, announced this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.
Isa said that the trapped ground-floor residents were rescued following a swift response to an 11:38 a.m. distress call.
She explained that the single-storey residential building, consisting of six flats located at Kubwa 2/2 by Yellow Page, partially caved in around 11:30 a.m. on Friday.
Emergency responders safely extracted both victims from the rubble of the building’s collapsed right segment.
“Other tenants were out for the day when the incident occurred, preventing further casualties, though household items and property were destroyed.
“The two victims were immediately taken to Kubwa General Hospital, where officials confirmed they are in stable condition.
“The Department of Development Control and the FCT Police Command joined FEMD at the scene to secure the area and investigate the cause of the collapse,” she said.
