At least 40 people remain trapped under the debris of a collapsed building in the Sabon Lugbe area of Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
The incident occurred early Saturday morning, and rescue operations by emergency teams and concerned residents are currently underway.
The structure, reportedly still under construction, gave way in the early hours, spurring urgent calls for assistance from government agencies and rescue organizations.
“No fewer than 40 persons are currently trapped in a building collapse that occurred in the Sabon Lugbe area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. People are under this rubble. It is a building under construction. We are calling on the government and relevant agencies to come and rescue those who are trapped here,” a witness at the site told Vanguard, emphasizing the critical need for more support to aid the ongoing recovery efforts.
This tragedy follows a similar incident just weeks ago in Abuja’s Kubwa area, where part of a two-story residential building collapsed near Cupid Hotel on Sultan Dasuki Way.
In that incident, four individuals were rescued, with several others initially feared trapped.

<h2>Recent checks by Naija News have indicated a notable drop in the price of <a href="https://naijanews.com/topic/indomie/">Indomie noodles</a>, a staple food item consumed by many Nigerians.</h2>
<p><strong>Naija News</strong> reports that this price reduction marks the second decrease within the week, <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/2024/03/13/prices-of-indomie-sugar-rice-beans-other-food-items-drop/">following an initial dip</a>, as the Nigerian Naira gains strength against the US dollar.</p>
<p>Upon assuming office, President Tinubu made the significant decision to eliminate the fuel subsidy, leading to a dramatic increase in fuel prices from approximately N189 per litre to over N600.</p>
<p>This decision, while aimed at stabilizing the country's economic landscape, initially contributed to a sharp rise in inflation, affecting prices across a broad spectrum of commodities, including essential food items like noodles, rice, and other kitchen staples.</p>
<p>The resultant financial strain has impacted Nigerian households, making bulk purchases of such necessities increasingly challenging.</p>
<p>However, a recent turn of events has seen a slight alleviation in these pressures, with the Naira's appreciation against the dollar reducing the prices of various commodities.</p>
<p>Specifically, the price of a carton of Indomie noodles has further declined.</p>
<p>The Indomie Super Pack, previously priced at N14,700, is now available for N12,000. Similarly, the regular chicken flavour pack, once sold for N8,900, has dropped to N7,500.</p>
<p><strong>The current prices for different Indomie variants are as follows:</strong></p>
<p>Indomitables: N7,500<br />
Onions: N8,100<br />
Superpack: N12,200<br />
Hungryman: N11,200<br />
Belleful: N11,500</p>
