FEMD at the scene of the collapse
By FUSEH MARKUS
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Emergency Management Department (FEMD) says it has rescued two from a collapsed building in Kubwa.
The department’s Head of Media and Public Relations, Nkechi Isa, said 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 said that the one-storey residential structure, comprising six blocks of flats located at Kubwa 2/2 by Yellow Page, partially caved in at around 11:30 a.m. on Friday.
She said that 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 rescued victims were immediately rushed to the Kubwa General Hospital, where officials confirmed that they were 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 structural failure,” she said. (NAN)
