One person has died while three others were rescued after a three-story building under construction collapsed in Kano State.
Confirming the incident on Friday, the spokesperson for the Kano State Fire Service, Saminu Abdullahi, said the building collapsed on Sultan Road, near Sazo Restaurant, in Nasarawa Local Government Area of the state.
Abdullahi said the agency received a distress call at about 10:14 a.m. from a resident, identified as Musa Yau, reporting the incident.
He said firefighters were immediately deployed to the scene, arriving about 10 minutes later.
According to him, the victims were evacuated to the nearest hospital, where one person was confirmed dead.
He added that rescue operations were still ongoing as emergency responders searched the rubble for other possible trapped victims.
Abdullahi attributed the collapse to the use of substandard building materials.
He urged engineers, contractors and property developers to adhere to approved building standards and use quality construction materials to prevent similar incidents.
