 At least five bodies have been recovered from the collapsed building in Akambi, Crescent in Yabba, Lagos state. According to the Lagos state emergency management last summer, two workers survived the incident and rescue operations on the building side, which has also been concluded. Our correspondent, Paul George, now reports. At least five persons have been confirmed dead and two rescued at the Yabba collapsed building in Lagos. The Lagos state emergency management agency said rescue operation has reached ground zero. Director-genera of last summer, Dr. Femi Okay Osointuru said further investigation has commenced. This is to seek the immediate and remote causes of the collapse to prevent future occurrence. A member of the Lagos state House of Assembly, Mosheud Oshun, was also on the ground to ascertain the extent of the damage. We recovered four bodies and the four bodies are in the mortuary. Again, we rescue one person. However, during the process of ongoing another person was rescued. Now, talking about the issue of building collapse, the state has been working on it. We have so many laws. We have so many people who are letting these laws. But I think what we can do is keep enforcing those laws, not to be sure that those are people who were followed. Those are the things we need to do for us. But for now, I don't think that the issue is how many lives can we save? Families of one of the victims, Monde La, were seen grieving. They want the owner of the building to transport the body of their late son home. Monde is my brother. So Naim bring me for Lagos. We did here to request on it, make it do us one favor rather than to take him to our place. That is what we want the man to do for us. Also, residents who witnessed the incident recounted the audio. Incidents happened quarter to three or there about. We couldn't get anything until about six, seven. Before they arrived by communal efforts, they were able to rescue one guy. Before the incident, a lot of people, some people were, you know, making some incidences about the structure, not the foundation. Something technically went wrong. I was the first person to see it. Before the vehicle came in, it was late at night, around eight or there about. Meanwhile, the state government said it has arrested the developer of the property for breaking the seal on the property and violating the stop work order. However, residents are waiting to see if there will be any persecution. Paul George for Plus TV Africa.
