Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, has rescued a construction worker trapped in a collapsed building under construction in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that the worker was trapped on Saturday when a part of a building under construction close to Taj Bank in the Central Business District area of the territory collapsed.<\/p>\n

Head of Public Affairs of FEMA, Nkechi Isa, made this known in a statement in Abuja on Sunday.<\/p>\n

According to him, the victim, a labourer, was working on the first floor of the building when the entire cast fell on him.<\/p>\n

She said the victim had been rescued and taken to the Trauma Centre of the National Hospital, Abuja for medical attention.<\/p>\n

She added that FEMA was alerted around 4:00 pm after the construction workers failed to rescue their trapped colleague.<\/p>\n

\u201cFEMA\u2019s 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\u2019s excavator,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
