The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has confirmed a devastating building collapse in Kano’s Fagge Local Government Area, resulting in two fatalities and two injuries. Dr. Nuraddeen Abdullahi, NEMA Coordinator for the Kano Territorial Office, reported the incident to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
Upon receiving the distress call, NEMA swiftly deployed a rescue team to the scene. The team rescued four individuals, comprising a husband, wife, and two children.
