Senate President Abubakar Bukola Saraki has expressed his heartfelt condolences to the families of those who died in Wednesday’s Lagos building collapse. The former Kwara governor tweeted, “My heartfelt prayers are with all the families affected by today’s building collapse in the Itah-Faaji area of Lagos Island, particularly the young school children who are reportedly trapped inside. I pray for their safe rescue.”
A three storey building housing a school on the third floor collapsed this morning in Nigeria’s leading commercial city. 10 persons have been reported dead, another 22 rescued while emergency workers continue to dig through the rubble in search of more victims.
