A six story building under construction reportedly collapsed Sunday night on Jummai Kwanashie Crescent, Gwarinpa in Abuja.

According to an eyewitness report, no fewer than five construction workers were trapped when the building collapsed around 8pm on Sunday.

We learnt that three of the laborers have been rescued by combined efforts of the Police, NEMA and FEMA. While efforts are still going on to rescue the two others trapped under the rubble.

WuzupNaija gathered that the building was being built to serve as a hotel.

An online platform reports that the iron rods used for the pillars of the building gave in like wood and the concrete work were said to be as brittle as ordinary sand.
