Nura Abdullahi, the coordinator of the Kano territorial district, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), confirmed the building collapse, adding that rescue workers are on the site trying to rescue survivors.
The development is coming less than a week after two persons were killed following the collapse of a two-storey building in the Kubwa satellite town of Abuja.
Similarly, in Lagos, a recent building accident resulted in the death of two occupants of a one-room apartment in the Bariga area of the state.
