A video of how an eight-storey building situated at at First Avenue inside the luxurious Banana Island in Lagos State collapsed on Wednesday has emerged.
A terse statement from the National Emergency Management Agency said construction workers are trapped in the building and its officials are mobilising the response team to rescue the trapped victims.
According to an eyewitness, some of the workers jumped from the top floors, just before the building collapsed. And some kids walking around the site narrowly escaped.
A source said while it is unsure what triggered the collapse, concreting was ongoing on the sixth floor before the collapse.
