[UPDATE]: One Dead, Four Rescued As Three-Storey Building Collapses In Yaba, Lagos
A three-storey building collapsed late Friday at 333 Borno Street, Alagomeji, Yaba, Lagos State, leaving one person dead and several others trapped.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) confirmed on Saturday that the body of a male victim was recovered from the rubble. Four other people have so far been rescued alive and are in stable condition.
Rescue operations, led by NEMA, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), and the Fire Service, are ongoing amid speculation that at least two more people remain trapped.
“Emergency officials have cordoned off the site to ensure safety and smooth rescue operations,” NEMA said in its incident update.
Authorities warned that the casualty figure could rise as search-and-rescue efforts continue through the night.
The Yaba collapse adds to the recurring cases of building failures in Lagos, often blamed on poor construction practices, use of substandard materials, and weak regulatory enforcement.
