comments
3 years ago / Nation 

12 more dead bodies have been recovered from the rubble of the 5-storey building that collapsed in Lekki Lagos Tuesday.

This figure takes the number that have died as a result of the collapse of the massive building being developed by the Lekki Worldwide Estate Limited to 30, while only 13 survivors have been evacuated.

OnTuesday18 dead bodies were removed from the debris, 12 were evacuated as at around 2.00pm on Wednesday.

The spokesperson, National Emergency Management Agency, (NEMA) Ibrahim Farinloye confirmed that apart from the 13 people rescued on Tuesday, no other person had been rescued alive Wednesday.

The General Manager, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, Michael Akindele said rescue operation was still on-going and more bodies had been removed from the debris with no survivor.

Rescue workers at the scene of the accident include officers of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, Lagos State Fire Services, Lagos State Ambulance Service, LASAMBUS, Rapid Response Squad, RRS, Civil Defence, National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, Navy and the Nigeria Police.

Lagos has witnessed several building collapse with devastating effect. Apart from the Synagogue building collapse of 2014 that claimed 116 lives, the Lekki collapse ranks next in devastation in the last two decades in Lagos. The enforcement of Town Planning Laws in Lagos has been at the lowest ebb, with developers flagrantly breaking the laws and going scot-free.
