There was no loss of life as a three-storey building located at 11 Anikantamo Street, off Adeniji Adele Road, Lagos, collapsed on Wednesday.

The South-West zonal coordinator of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Mr Iyiola Akande, who confirmed the information said only a female occupant of the house was injured.

He further added that there were no indication of any trapped person(s) in the rubbles.

Mr Akande said “apart from an injured woman, who has been taken to a hospital, no other causality figure was recorded by NEMA.”

“Nobody died in the collapsed building, because we have combed the rubble to that effect and we have found nothing.”

However, a witness, Mr Abiodun Adedamola, said the building, believed to be about eight years old, collapsed without giving any signs, with the possibility of trapping some of its occupants.
