Oh my. This report of Westbrook hotel hotel in Garki Abuja collapsing is disturbing. How can a four storey building collapse all of a sudden? Proper approvals should always be given by the right bodies before any construction of such takes place. Now people’s lives are at risk.… pic.twitter.com/JOL2JmyQ87
