A young man has cheated death after jumping off the 21-storey building that collapsed in Ikoyi today, 1st November 2021.
AMILOADED reports that many persons have been trapped after a 21-storey building located along Gerald Road, Ikoyi collapsed on Monday.
According to reports, the collapsed building is under construction, and many persons have been feared dead in the incident.
Rescue officials from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) among others are currently on the ground to rescue the persons trapped.
The Director-General, LASEMA, Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, said the emergency response plan was swiftly activated following the distress call.
Taking to the microblogging platform to share a photo of persons who survived the incident, a Twitter user identified as Enubee shared a photo of a man who he claimed jumped from the collapsed building into his compound.
According to Enubee, the man who’s yet to be identified had allegedly jumped from the collapsed building to their compound.
Photo of man who “cheated death” by jumping off collapsed building… that is a wrong caption! He rather “escaped death”. Saying he cheated death portrayed that the the collapsed was deliberately designed to claim every life in the building. My perspective though.
