Seven people sustained injuries following the collapse of a two-storey building under construction in the Jikwoyi area of Abuja on Friday, April 4, 2026. The incident occurred around 11:00 a.m. local time.
Emergency responders, including personnel from the Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), were dispatched to the scene. The injured victims were rescued from the rubble and transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment.
Preliminary reports from FEMA officials suggest the collapse may be linked to structural failures. An investigation into the exact cause of the incident is ongoing. Building collapses are a recurring issue in Nigeria, often attributed to the use of substandard materials and a lack of adherence to safety regulations.
