 A three-story building collapsed today with suspected occupants allegedly trapped. This took place around noon. Our correspondent Emmanuel Olubobokun was at the scene, now reports. It was around 12 noon that a three-story building collapsed in Mushi. Apparently, the structure at the scene has been weakened by waterlog. First respondents were at the scene to ensure the safety of residents in the area. The National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA and the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency carried out a joint exercise in demolishing all the structures close to the site to ensure the safety of the occupants and prevention of future occurrence. Speaking to plus-to-the-news representatives of the agencies gave their word on the process of clearing and demolition being carried out on the site of the collapse, pointing out that two persons were rescued since the arrival. The information we had from those who are here was that the first part of the building that went down was the underground structure. So definitely the shock away had gone down. So this is a sign that maintenance of that shock away has not been proper. You know, with the type of rainfall we have this year, and shock away may accumulate more run-off water. So if it had failed, that means it had not been taken care of for some years. Early this morning, we were informed that a building collapsed at this residential area. Immediately we activated our emergency response plan. All the key stakeholders that are important in managing emergency moved to this area. With the confined efforts, we are able to rescue two people alive and they have been taken. However, from the information gathered by us, we were informed that there are two females that are still missing. With that, we have been taken in carrying out our shock and rescue. We are using our Delta equipment. We are using our light duty equipment. And we are moving from one layer to another. A woman who was an occupant of the collapsed building shared our deal narrating how she and the son escaped. I see the house this morning. I see the way breaking for the corner, corner, corner. I come to my son's house soon. You know, go last. You better cook on the floor when you go. Make sure you don't get any problems. That's all. Everywhere to break, everywhere. The house room, you go down the floor. You go down there for the house plenty. Up. And serving. Tank it there. So now you go down. Maybe that's the problem. Amongst the residents in the area, a shop owner also spoke on the loss he would face as his building was going to be demolished. I had some people shouting at the back of the premises. Then I came out. And somebody would say the house is throwing stone over. I was standing in front of this guy when suddenly the building collapsed. The building that the back collapsed. So when the building collapsed, after the collapse, I called my boss. That's exactly what happened. He said I should lock the office. Then I should... This place was crowded by that time. He said I should go home. Even if anything is supposed to happen, it seems to give us a notice. Maybe even a week, at least two days, for us to pack. I was inside the house when I received the call that they are demolishing the main building. I rushed here. They couldn't even allow me to take a team. Building collapsed has been a recurring decimal in legal states with engineers advised to play their parts in ensuring the proper use of materials in rights proportions so as to avoid such happenings in the future.
