While many are preparing to spend the holidays with family and friends, it is sad that a mother and little baby may have lost their lives just three days before Christmas.
In the Ebute Meta neighbourhood of Lagos State on Friday, at least three unidentified people—including a baby and an adult—were trapped inside a collapsed building.
Just one person has been pulled from the wreckage of the one-story, penthouse building that fell.
This was revealed in a mail sent to PUNCH Online on Friday by Margaret Adeseye, the director of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service.
According to Adeseye, the LFRSC received a distressed call around 9:00 a.m. on Friday about a building collapse in Herbert Macaulay Way, Ebute Meta.
But, when the fire service team arrived at the scene, one person was rescued while three others were still under the debris, while stating that efforts are ongoing to rescue the trapped victim.
She said: “The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service is currently attending to an emergency that was reported at 09:00 hours to 122 Herbert Macaulay Way, Lagos Bus Stop, Ebute Meta, Lagos, where a one-story building with a penthouse has collapsed and two adults and a baby, all females, are still trapped with search and rescue ongoing.
