Around 40 people are reportedly trapped under the rubble of a collapsed building in Sabon Lugbe, a suburb of Abuja.

The collapse occurred around 5 PM on Saturday while victims were still inside.

Multiple videos shared on social media, especially on X, show residents trying to rescue those trapped beneath the debris.
