“Six seriously injured adult males were rescued and were administered immediate medical care by the LRU Pre-Hospital Care Unit, before being transported to Marina General Hospital for further treatment.”


SaharaReporters had reported that the building collapsed on Wednesday around 4:00 PM, prompting an immediate emergency response.


Emergency responders from LASEMA subsequently launched a search and rescue operation following the collapse in the Ikota area of Ajah, Lagos State.


Meanwhile, Lagos State Police Command spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin, in a statement on Wednesday, confirmed that police operatives and rescue teams had been mobilized to the scene.


He stated that 14 people had been rescued and taken to Lagos Island General Hospital for treatment, adding that security operatives remain on the ground to maintain order as rescue efforts continue.
