A four-storey building attached to the Westbrook Hotel in the Garki area of the Federal Capital Territory collapsed on Monday night, trapping many people inside.

The Westbrook Hotel is reportedly owned by a former governor from a state in the South East.

An eyewitness, who requested anonymity, told our correspondent about the incident, adding that he observed two trapped individuals being pulled from the rubble and taken to the hospital.

“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.

Rescue operations are currently underway, but reports suggest that the emergency responders are not yet organized for efficient operations.
