A four-storey building attached to the Westbrook Hotel in the Garki area of the Federal Capital Territory collapsed on Monday night, leaving several people trapped.
The hotel is reportedly owned by a former governor from the South East region.
According to The PUNCH, an eyewitness, who wished to remain anonymous, described the scene as chaotic and feared there may be casualties. “I saw two people being pulled out from the rubble and taken to the hospital, but there could be more people trapped inside.
The eye witness said, “There is a possibility that there could be some people inside the collapsed building who may have died. I saw two people being pulled out from the rubble now and taken to the hospital while rescue operations are ongoing.
The emergency responders are not coordinated yet for efficient operations,” he said.
