Building collapses – Building collapses at lagos

Building collapses – A yet to be identified victim has been rescued by operatives of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency when a building collapsed in the Gbagada area of Lagos State.

The victim, who was said to have sustained injuries as a result of the incident that happened in the early hours of Thursday, was receiving medical attention.

PUNCH Metro learnt that some parts of the two-storey building collapsed because it was old, adding that plans were already in place to pull it down to prevent further calamity.

When contacted, the Chief Executive Officer, LASEMA, Dr Oluwafemi Oke-Osanyintolu, said emergency responders at the scene of the incident had rescued a victim. He added that the building would be  pulled down.

Oke-Osanyintolu said, “It was a partial building collapse which involved just one casualty.

An official of the Lagos State Fire Service, who spoke with our correspondent on condition of anonymity, said rescue operation had yet to commence as he and his colleagues had yet to access the area.

“We are here already but the road is bad and there is indiscriminate parking on the street. So, we have not been able to gain access to the building. The police are also around and we are thinking of what to do, but for now, rescue operation has not started,” he said.
