Topnaija had reported that the building collapsed at Lagos Street in Garki,killing two people while many others are being trapped on Wednesday
He had penned his comforting words on Twitter, “Every life is precious, and every loss, especially for the affected people, is irreplaceable. That’s why we must take preemptive actions to stem losses from avoidable situations. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who may have lost their loved ones from the tragic collapse of a building on Lagos Street in Abuja following last night’s downpour. May their families be comforted, and their souls rest in peace”.
“In the last couple of days, we’ve witnessed torrential downpours. This is yet another indication of global warming that has thrown up changes in our weather patterns. That’s why we need to step up the activities of the development control and inspectorate departments of the federal capital and the states. This is to ensure that the construction of houses meets the integrity test”.
