Three-Storey Building Collapses in Abuja's Wuse Area
On Monday evening, a three-storey building collapsed near Zone 4 in the Wuse area of Abuja. As of the report's filing, the circumstances surrounding the incident, including potential casualties, were not officially confirmed.
Footage from the scene showed debris, but it remained unclear whether the building was occupied or under construction at the time of the collapse. Emergency responders were expected to assess the situation and determine if search and rescue operations were necessary.
The FCT Administration, responsible for monitoring construction activities and enforcing building regulations, has faced renewed scrutiny over building safety. This incident follows a previous collapse on April 3, when a two-storey building under construction in Jikwoyi collapsed, injuring several workers.
FCT Minister Nyesom Wike ordered the arrest of the developer involved in that incident, citing non-compliance with construction regulations and ongoing work despite stop-work notices.
