Three-storey building collapses in Lagos

A man, yet-to-be-identified, was trapped under rubble as a three-storey building under construction collapsed in Ago Palace Way axis of Lagos State on Friday.

The Director-General of Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Dr Oluwafemi Oke-Osanyintolu, who confirmed this, noted that emergency officials were already at the scene and making efforts to rescue the trapped person.

Oke-Osanyintolu, however, gave an assurance that once the rescue operation was completed, the remaining parts of the collapsed building would undergo a controlled demolition exercise.
