BREAKING: See the Number Dead in Kano Building Collapse

A two-storey building in Nomansland, Fagge Local Government Area, Kano State, collapsed early Thursday morning, resulting in the deaths of two individuals.

The collapse occurred around 2 a.m. amid heavy rain. Eyewitnesses report that the building’s foundation was compromised by the overflow of a nearby waterway, which led to its structural failure.

Emergency services, including the Kano State Fire Service, quickly responded to the scene. Two survivors were successfully rescued and taken to the hospital for treatment. Sadly, two people were confirmed dead.

Saminu Yusif Abdullahi, Public Relations Officer for the Kano State Fire Service, verified the incident and mentioned that rescue operations are still in progress. “We have rescued two individuals who are now receiving medical care, while two others have died. Our search for additional survivors continues,” Abdullahi said.
