Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Malam Muhammad Musa Bello, has ordered the arrest of some Federal Housing Authority (FHA) officials and the developer of the two-storey building that collapsed in Abuja on Friday.
No fewer than 24 persons were trapped in the collapsed building at 6th Avenue in Gwarimpa Estate, with three confirmed dead and 21 rescued.
Coordinator of the Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC), Umar Shuaibu, said that the minister gave the order to carry out the arrest when he addressed media yesterday, February 4.
He said the minister issued an arrest warrant for manslaughter against the developer, the FHA officers overseeing the development, the officer-in-charge of issuing the development permission, and the engineer supervising the project.
