Two Children dead in building collapse in Lagos

The bodies of two children trapped in a partially collapsed building at 25, Ajao Street, CWC, by Olainukan Bus stop, Ishawo, Ikorodu have been recovered.

The South-West Coordinator, National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, Mr Ibrahim Farinloye said the Children, 9 years old Rakib Atolagbe, and 8years old Mujib Atolagbe, were trapped when a fence from the neighbouring house fell on their building during the day’s heavy downpour.

Mr Farinloye said that it was very unfortunate that the distress call was not properly channeled to the appropriate quarters to save the life of the children at the right time.

He added that the Lagos State Building Control Agency, LASBCA, is presently on ground to assess the situation.
