 Lagos Building Collapse: Two dead, Six Injured, 14 Rescued


Two bodies have been recovered from the debris of a collapsed two-story building under construction at Oriwu Estate, Lagos, where several people were trapped on Wednesday.


Six persons also reportedly sustained varying degrees of injury, while the number of rescued victims has risen to 14, according to Dr. Olufemi Damilola Oke-Osanyintolu, Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) in a statement on Wednesday night.


He said, “Following distress calls received via the CRM on the 767/112 Emergency Toll-Free Lines at 1425hrs today, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, activated the State’s Emergency Response Plans and Response Team from its Lekki and Cappa Bases.


“Immediate cause of the incident is yet-to-be ascertained. Further investigations will be conducted.


“So far, two adult males have been extricated from rubbles of the collapsed building.


“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.


"Operatives of the Lagos State Police Command have been mobilized to the scene of the collapse of a building under construction at Oriwu Street, Lekki Phase 1, which occurred at about 1600hrs today.


"A total of fourteen persons have so far been rescued and taken to Lagos Island General Hospital for treatment.
