Death toll from Lagos building collapse rises to four

The death toll from the cite of a collapsed building at Oba Idowu Oniru street in the Lekki area of Lagos state has risen to four.

Ibrahim Farinloye, Lagos territorial office coordinator, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), confirmed the death toll increase on Monday.

According to him, the excavators in search of corpses at the site retrieved two more bodies from the rubble.

Some residents close to the scene of the collapsed building believe that more bodies are still trapped in the wreckage.

Recall that the seven-storey uncompleted building collapsed on Sunday, with six people said to have been trapped in the rubble, but two corpses were taken from the wreckage.
