Emergency responders have been able to reduce four people trapped after a section of a two-storey residential building collapsed in Abuja.

The New Diplomat reports that the building located close to the popular Cupid Hotel on Cupid Road, Sultan Dasuki Way in the Kubwa area of Abuja collapsed in the early hours of Saturday morning.
