In a heartbreaking incident early Friday morning, a one-storey building in the Kuntau area of Gwale Local Government Area, Kano State, collapsed, leaving eight people feared dead.
The building, still under construction, was sheltering at least 15 individuals, including the owner, construction workers, and passersby, during a sudden rainfall.
Amidst the chaos, the wife of one of the victims, Sharu, rushed to the scene, desperately calling for help. Neighbors and bystanders quickly joined forces, working tirelessly to rescue those trapped beneath the debris.
Seven survivors were immediately rushed to Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital for treatment, but tragically, one person died en route. The remaining victims are currently receiving medical care, as the community reels from this devastating event.
