Two bodies recovered after two-storey building collapses in Lagos
The bodies of two middle aged persons, a man and a woman, have been recovered from the rubbles after a two-storey building collapsed on Friday morning in Ebute Meta, Lagos.
Mr Ibrahim Farinloye, Lagos Territorial Coordinator, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), confirmed the development to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He explained that a two-storey building with a penthouse collapsed at about 0930 hours along Herbert Marculley way, Ebute Metta.
He added that the Lagos Building Control Agency (LASBCA) had issued evacuation notices several times before the unfortunate incident.
“It was alleged that the property had been sold out about four months ago.
“Three of the occupants jumped to safety with the assistance of the residents,” Farinloye said.
