The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has reported that the death toll from the recent building collapse in Noman’s Land Quarters, Fagge Local Government Area of Kano, has risen to three. Additionally, two individuals sustained injuries in the incident.

Dr. Nuraddeen Abdullahi, the Coordinator for NEMA’s Kano Territorial Office, provided this update on Thursday in Kano. He detailed that the collapse occurred around 2 a.m. and involved a two-story building.

Dr. Abdullahi noted, “Our rescue team initially saved four people, including a husband, wife, and their two children. Tragically, the two children did not survive, while the couple was taken to Armed Forces Specialist Hospital in Kano for medical care. The deceased have been moved to the mortuary.”

He added that a recent search and rescue operation successfully recovered another body from the debris.
