Rescuers quickly arrived at the scene to search for victims in the rubble. As a result, they found 7 bodies and many injured people.
Search and rescue work is still underway.
Building collapses are common in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country. The cause is substandard construction materials and poor enforcement of safety regulations.
