Rescuers have saved four individuals from the collapsed two-storey residential building in Abuja on Saturday morning.

It was earlier reported that a yet-to-be-confirmed number of people were trapped in a section of the two-storey residential building that collapsed in Abuja on Saturday morning.

It was gathered that the building is located close to the popular Cupid Hotel on Cupid Road, Sultan Dasuki Way in the Kubwa area of Abuja.

It was originally known as Al-Hilal Hotel but was transformed to a hospital and most recently, a residential apartment.

Two persons who were earlier rescued from the rubble were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, while a few others managed to escape independently.

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

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

About a week ago, SaharaReporters had reported that a yet-to-be-confirmed number of workers had been feared dead as a building at Nicholas Ukachukwu’s Praco Limited Estate located in Guzape, Abuja collapsed.
