The NDMA said six survivors have been rescued from the rubble, while many people remain trapped beneath the debris.
According to eyewitnesses, the building was used for residential and commercial purposes.
The NDMA and other partners are making an all-out effort to recover more victims trapped beneath the collapsed structure, and NDMA authorities have initiated investigations into the cause of the disaster.
Brima Sesay, director general of the NDMA, reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to raising public awareness about the risks associated with using unqualified contractors and substandard building materials.
