A four-storey building connected to the Westbrook Hotel in the Garki area of Abuja collapsed on Monday night, trapping many people inside.
The Westbrook Hotel is reportedly owned by a former governor from a state in the South East.
An anonymous eyewitness told PUNCH Online about the potential for casualties, noting that two trapped individuals had been rescued and taken to the hospital.
“There is a possibility that some people inside the collapsed building may have died. I saw two people being pulled out from the rubble and taken to the hospital while rescue operations are ongoing. The emergency responders are not yet coordinated for efficient operations,” he said.
