The death toll in the 21-storey building that collapsed on Monday on Gerrard Road, in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State, has increased to 36.
The building crumbled around 2pm when workers were on the site.
The PUNCH had reported that many people were trapped in the rubble, including the Managing Director, Fourscore Heights Limited, Mr Femi Osibona, who owned the building.
The South-West Coordinator of the National Emergency Management Agency, Ibrahim Farinloye, on Thursday confirmed that 33 males and three females have been brought out dead from the rubble.
Farinloye added that nine people which included one female and eight males were rescued alive
It looks like the owners of these collapse buildings are ritualistic, considering the numbers of humans lives killed during each disasters. If I may ask. What’s the outcome of the Synagogue structure that collapsed in the year past where by several people were killed, most of the victims are from South Africa. The wickedness of the few rich people to humanity must be checked forthwith.
