The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) has rescued seven people who were trapped in a two-storey building that collapsed in Mushin.
This was confirmed in a statement released Wednesday by Dr. Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, the agency's Permanent Secretary.
He said the event happened at 12 Cameron Str. in Ewenla, Mushin.
“The LASEMA Response Team arrived at the scene of the incident and discovered that a newly constructed two-storey building had collapsed.
“Seven people, three females and four males, were rescued alive and taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
“The agency’s search and rescue team have searched the rubble and can confirm that there is no victim underneath the collapsed building.
“The area has been cordoned off and operation is still ongoing,” Oke-Osanyintolu said.
Amidst the state-wide flash floods, he also urged Lagos people to remain calm and avoid unnecessary travel plans.
