A four-story building collapsed on Lagos Island on Thursday, trapping an unknown number of people.
The incident occurred at lga lduganran, near the Oba of Lagos’ palace.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotosho, has confirmed the development on his X account.
According to Omotosho, eight people have been rescued so far
“A four-storey building has collapsed at lga Iduganran, Lagos Island. The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency officials have rescued eight people from the rubble.
They are battling to retrieve two others from the rubble. The structure had been marked by LASBCA for evacuation,” Omotosho said.
This is coming less than a week after an 11-year-old girl and three persons lost their lives when a mosque that was hit by an excavator collapsed in the Papa Ajao area of Lagos State.
