Children trapped after collapse of Nigerian building
13 March 2019 - 18:00
Workers on top of the rubble dug away debris as thousands of people swarmed around the site to watch, many of them angry or hysterical. Also at the site were police, ambulances, Red Cross workers, fire trucks and a fork lift. Lagos governor Akinwuni Ambode visited the site and offered commiserations to bereaved families, but did not say how many had died.
Ambode said the school had been set up illegally and that buildings in the area were undergoing integrity testing. A Google photograph of the collapsed building from early 2017 shows no sign of a school inside. The fourth storey only had the words “Olulade Villa ” painted across its balcony.
