A two-story-building collapse yesterday night at the Haruna area of Ikorudu, Lagos Stae has left one dead and three others missing.
The southwest Coordinator of the National Emergency Management Agency, Mr. Ibrahim Farinloye disclosed that a distress call was placed late last night around 10 PM when the incident happened.
“Immediately the incident occurred, the local residents within the area mobilized themselves to carry out initial rescue activities. Though, fire service and Police responded but were unable to do much due to the unavailability of equipment to lift the rumble on the suspected location of the trapped victims,” Mr. Farinloye said.
