    ABUJA: The Department of Development Control in the Federal Capital Territory Administration FCTA has dismissed as mere propaganda, reports of Saturday night’s collapsed building in Sabon Lugbe area of the territory which allegedly had over 40 persons trapped in the rubble.

    Director of the department, Mukhtar Galadima in an explanatory note on Sunday said the building had already been demolished and that scavengers, popularly known as “Baban Bola” had invaded the site in a bid to scavenge iron rods, when remaining part of the demolished structure caved in.

    He said; “This is to bring to the notice of the Department that the media publication with respect to collapse of a multi-storey building in Lugbe is just a propaganda.

    “The subject building is within the site currently under demolition and the subject structure was an uncompleted building which was demolished on Thursday.

    “Information gathered is that the site recorded mass influx of scavengers (over 500) in number pulling down and carting away remains of iron rods. Their activities triggered the remains of a demolished slab to fall on them”.
