The Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Department has clarified that the incident initially reported as a building collapse in an Abuja estate was actually a controlled demolition due to structural defects, and no lives were lost.
It was earlier reported that an unconfirmed number of workers were feared dead after a building at Nicholas Ukachukwu’s Praco Limited Estate in Guzape, Abuja, collapsed on Friday.
It was also reported that a rescue operation was going on but had been hindered by heavy rainfall.
