Eight construction workers got trapped when an old structure inside the Emir of Kano palace collapsed on Monday.
The incident occurred around 11am as the workers carried out rehabilitation of the ancient structure. Since Emir Muhammad Sanusi II became emir of Kano, he has been rehabilitating old structures in the palace.
According to one of the survivors, Iliya Aminu, there were 10 people working on the structure when it collapsed but only two escaped.
“I was very lucky because I was by the door when the building caved in trapping my eight colleagues,” he said.
Five of the eight had been rescued by noon according to a report by Daily trust newspaper which said that two were carried to the Murtala Specialist Hospital with the Palace ambulance while the remaining three were ferried to the Hospital with the Kano state fire service van.
The Emir was receiving the minister of education, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau when the building collapsed.
