A building at 10, Cameroon Street in the Mushin area of Lagos State reportedly collapsed on Wednesday morning, leaving a child feared dead and seven other residents rescued from the rubble by sympathizers.
According to reports from The Nation, the collapse is believed to have been caused by heavy downpours that have affected many parts of Lagos recently. A resident speaking to the publication mentioned the impact of the rains on the building’s stability.
As of the time of filing this report, the Lagos rescue team had yet to respond to emergency calls, raising concerns about the efficiency and timeliness of emergency response in such critical situations.
Further details on the incident are expected to emerge as investigations and rescue operations continue.
