UPDATE: Four rescued in Abuja building collapse

Four individuals have been rescued following the collapse of a section of a two-storey residential apartment in Abuja on Saturday morning.

The incident, where several people remain trapped under rubble, occurred less than 24 hours after a tragic school building collapse in Plateau State that claimed 22 lives and left 132 injured.

Additionally, this incident follows another building collapse at Unity House, Area 11, Garki, in Abuja, just eleven days ago.

As of now, emergency responders and security personnel are actively engaged in ongoing rescue operations at the site in Kubwa, Federal Capital Territory.

One person is still trapped under the debris, with efforts underway to free them.
