The Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) successfully rescued a construction worker who was trapped in a collapsed building under construction within the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Reports revealed that the worker became trapped on Saturday following the collapse of a section of a building under construction near Taj Bank in the Central Business District area of the territory.
Nkechi Isa, FEMA’s Head of Public Affairs, disclosed this information in a statement released in Abuja on Sunday, confirming the agency’s swift response to the emergency situation.
According to him, the victim, a labourer, was working on the first floor of the building when the entire cast fell on him.
She said the victim had been rescued and taken to the Trauma Centre of the National Hospital, Abuja, for medical attention.
She added that FEMA was alerted around 4:00 p.m. after the construction workers failed to rescue their trapped colleague.
“FEMA’s Search and Rescue Team and the FCT Fire Service responded to the distress call and were able to rescue the trapped man with the aid of extrication equipment and the construction company’s excavator,” she said.
