Another two-storey building has collapsed on Saturday at Ebute-Meta area of Lagos State. This is coming barely three days after a three-storey building collapsed at Ilasamaja area of Lagos State.
The building, located at Cole Street in Ebute-Meta was under renovation when it collapsed during the heavy downpour at 2:00 p.m. A woman was said to have escaped death as the building caved in.
“She was rescued and treated,” a source said.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) spokesman for South-West, Ibrahim Farinloye, confirmed the incident, saying the building was under renovation.
He said only one person was affected and that the woman was rescued after she sustained injuries, adding that no life was lost.
Director, Lagos State Fire Service, Rasak Fadipe, added that the building was under renovation when it collapsed.
Meanwhile, the death toll in Wednesday’s three-storey building collapse at Ilasamaja has risen to four.
It was gathered that another unidentified body was recovered at the weekend during the post-disaster clearing of the site and had been deposited by the State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit (SEHMU) at the Mainland Hospital Mortuary.
