Kano building collapse: Fire Service rescues 6 alive at Whitefield rice mill

A section of a building collapsed at the Whitefield Rice Mills Processing Company in Gezawa Local Government Area of Kano State, Nigeria. The Federal Fire Service (FFS) responded to a distress call and successfully rescued six people alive from the rubble. According to FFS State Controller Mr. Kazeem Sholadaye, the collapse was attributed to excessive loading of stored items within the facility. The fire service reported that their timely intervention prevented any loss of life and helped save property valued at approximately N15 million, though N10 million worth of property was damaged. Sholadaye emphasized the importance of ensuring buildings are structurally sound, avoiding overloading of structures, and conducting regular inspections to prevent such incidents.
