A four-storey building has reportedly collapsed in the Lifecamp area of Abuja in the Federal Capital Territory.
The building, which is under construction, collapsed at about 4 pm, leaving many trapped beneath the rubble.
There are concerns that many of the workers, who were on the construction site in the swampy Dape Area when the building came down, may have been killed in the incident.
Officials of the FCT Fire Service and the National Emergency Management Agency are reportedly at the site of the collapse to rescue victims from the collapsed building.
Meanwhile, the Head of Operations of the FCT Fire Service, Amiola Adebayo, who confirmed the incident, said rescue operations were still ongoing and could not yet confirm any casualties from the incident.
