 The permanent secretary of the Lagos State Emergency Managing Agency, La Sema, Dr. Femio Oké, Ossointolu, has said that warning had been given to occupants of the Butte Meta Collapse Building concerning the status of the building. Ossointolu spoke with Plus TV News at the site where efforts were ongoing to rescue others trapped under the rubble as at the time of filing this report, our correspondent Paul George was there and now reports. It was a bittersweet, ill-futuristic celebration as sympathizers thronged the Batta Street to see the building that caved in at about 10 pm on Sunday, killing eight persons and leaving about 23 others injured. It's a building that clearly early warning has been given concerning the status of the building. Inasmuch that we sympathized with those that love their beloved ones, we need to state it clearly that we will not tolerate this type of man-made disaster. Oké, Ossointolu wants that such warnings shouldn't have been ignored. When we got there, at that time, we were having close to 20 people rescued. So, at the end, so far, we have 23 people rescued alive and eight people recovered dead. Out of the eight, three females, five males. Johnson Adejari would claim to be a family member to the owner of the collapsed building and at the same time, the Secretary of the House corroborates the claims of the DG that the owner of the building had been informed about its status. Two years ago, we called the developer that, look, this situation has happened. The house is not good again, it's not safe again. Come and do something about it. She also, because the redeveloper, the redeveloper of Tumba, Rotat Nigeria Limited, died. Then the woman, the wife took over, took over from him. Then she kept on collecting money. At the top, at the last floor, the first floor, we have, you know, in one of the palo, in one of the palo, like five years, then at the second floor, we have four flats. Then at the first floor, we have four flats too. One of the survivors was glad he came out alive. I was imagining that the building is collapsing and I was naked. So when we reach ground, I now make sure that I don't put fear in my mind. That what we'll be, we'll be. But people came to rescue me. I feel bad, most especially a boy that they call David. They're always with me, they walk with me, but may he so rest in peace. As the rescue operations continue, friends and families hope that those who are still trapped in the rubbles are rescued alive.
