A devastating building collapse occurred in Abuja on Saturday morning, leaving several people trapped in the rubble. The two-storey residential apartment, located beside Cupid Hotel on Cupid Road (Sultan Dasuki Way) in Kubwa, was formerly a hotel and later a hospital before being converted into a residential apartment.

Eyewitnesses reported that the collapse occurred around 7 a.m., with many people still inside the building.

Emergency responders and security personnel quickly arrived at the scene, but rescue efforts were hindered by the lack of necessary equipment, such as cranes.

“We arrived at the scene quickly, but we are still waiting for the cranes to arrive,” said an emergency responder. “We have managed to rescue a few people, but there are still many others trapped inside.”

One of the escapees, who wished to remain anonymous, described the terrifying moment the building collapsed. “I woke up around 7 a.m. and came out of the house. I started hearing some cracks, and then I ran out. It was terrifying.”

As of 8:45 a.m., two persons had been rushed to a nearby hospital, while a few others managed to escape on their own. The exact number of people trapped inside the building is still unknown.
