Rescue efforts are ongoing in the Nigerian capital after a two-storey building collapsed overnight.
Emergency services say they have pulled 35 people alive out of the rubble in the Garki part of Abuja.
Two others were found dead.
Abba Idris, the head of the Abuja Emergency Relief Agency, told the BBC that those rescued had been taken to hospital.
The building was used for residential and commercial purposes, local media report, and it was not immediately clear what caused the collapse.
There were heavy rains overnight, accompanied by strong winds, which continued till dawn on Thursday.
Garki is in the heart of Abuja and many of its buildings were part of those first constructed in the new city, which began being built in the early 1980s.
