BREAKING: Many feared dead in another two-storey building collapse in Lagos
The residents of the boisterous Lagos Island area in Lagos State were consumed by trepidation and agony on Wednesday after a two-storey building collapsed.
Many people are said to be trapped beneath the rubble of the collapsed building, sparking concern over imminent high number of casualties and dead persons.
It’s gathered that the edifice had become structurally defective after it was severely impacted by a raging inferno that engulfed some part of Dosunmu Market few weeks ago leaving its strength weakened and its integrity compromised.
