Four people have been rescued after a three storey-building collapse in Lagos Island Area of Lagos State, South West, Nigeria.
According to an eye witness report, several people are trapped inside the collapsed building.
The building, which is located on Odun Ifa street by No. 100, Adeniji Adele street, collapsed this morning.
An eyewitness, Ajayi Timi, told Channels Television that “we heard the sound of the collapsed building and I had to rush out as a licenced Red Cross officer.
“We had to mobilise so many rescue officials to come and assist. The LASEMA, State Red Cross, Area Commander of the Police and Fire Brigade, were all contacted”, he said.
He complained of Nigeria’s slow response to emergencies.
An official of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) confirmed to Channels Television that no casualty was recorded during the incident.
The cause of the collapse is not yet ascertained.
