An unidentified man has been trapped in an uncompleted three-storey building which collapsed on Friday, at 12 Alasepe Street, off Community Road, Ago Palace Way, Okota in Lagos State.

Confirming the incident, the Director-General, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, Dr Oluwafemi Oke-Osanyintolu, explained that efforts are ongoing in order to rescue the yet-to-be-identified man who is trapped under the collapse building.

Speaking on the impact of the collapse, which has affected other adjacent structures around the scene of the incident, Dr Osanyintolu noted that once the recovery operation was completed, the remaining parts of the collapsed building would undergo a controlled demolition exercise.

“Upon arrival at the incident scene, it was observed that a three-storey building approaching completion had collapsed.

“An adult male is presently trapped under the rubble and we have commenced a rescue operation.

“Initial findings revealed that the collapsed building is a three-storey building under construction. The impact of the collapse has affected the adjacent structures but the resultant crowd is under control.

“Extrication and recovery of the trapped man are ongoing using all emergency light tools at our disposal. Once completed, the remains of the structure will undergo a controlled demolition exercise,” LASEMA Boss said.
