One person has been confirmed dead following the collapse of a three-storey building at Alagomeji, in the Yaba area of Lagos State.
The National Emergency Management Agency, in its Day 2 incident report on Saturday, said the body of a male victim was recovered from the rubble during ongoing search and rescue operations.
In an update on X, NEMA said, “The Search and rescue operation is still ongoing at the building collapse scene. NEMA, LASEMA, Fire Services, Police, FRSC and NSCDC are on the ground. The number of persons rescued remains four; they are in stable condition. No additional person has been rescued at the time of this report, but there is speculation of two more persons under the rubble.”
In a subsequent update, the agency confirmed that one body had been retrieved from the debris, even as efforts continue to ensure that no one is left trapped.
“One body (male) has just been recovered from the rubble. Search and Rescue operation is still ongoing,” NEMA said.
