Four Dead As Another Building Collapse In Mushin, Lagos

Four people have been confirmed dead in another building collapse in Lagos.

The three-storey building located at Oye Sonuga Street, Mushin, collapsed on Friday afternoon trapping an uncertain number of people.

The most recent update from the Lagos Territorial Coordinator of NEMA, Ibrahim Farinloye, confirms that two female and two male bodies have been pulled out from the rubble of the building.

Farinloye, around 7:45 pm, said that search and rescue operations have been finalized as emergency workers have reached ground zero.

He, however, added that emergency workers will cart away the rubble and demolish the adjoining building which was affected on Saturday.

Earlier, the Publicity Secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, Dr Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, said those rescued alive have been taken to the hospital for treatment.

He said, “After a painstaking search, one female have been rescued from the rubble. This brings the total rescued alive from the incident scene to three.”
