A two-storey plaza located at Lagos Street, Garki Village in the Garki District of the nation’s capital, Abuja has collapsed.

Super FM gathered that the building collapsed late Wednesday night amid heavy downpour.

According to emergency officials, 37 people have been rescued, with two of them “fatally injured”.

They said rescue operations had been slow over the night as there was no immediate access to an excavator and rescue efforts were purely manual.
