Building collapses in Abuja hours after FCTA sealing
By Omeiza Ajayi
nA building has collapsed in Wuse Zone 4, Abuja, barely hours after the Development Control Department in the Federal Capital Territory Administration FCTA sealed the structure and directed occupants to vacate the premises.
nThe incident, which occurred around 8pm on Monday, has triggered a rescue operation involving men of the Federal Fire Service and other emergency responders who were on ground battling to reach anyone trapped in the rubble.
nThree ambulances were stationed at the scene as emergency responders work to ensure prompt evacuation of any casualties that may be found in the debris.
nDetails of what led to the collapse remained sketchy as of the time of this report, but the development has again drawn attention to the safety of ageing and distressed buildings within the city, particularly structures that had earlier been flagged by regulatory authorities.
nEfforts by rescue operatives were still ongoing as at press time.
