Dayo Emmanuel<\/p>\n

Spokesman of the Lagos State Emergency Management Authority (LASEMA), Mr. Kehinde Adebayo, has confirmed a building housing a school on its topmost floor collapsed today at Ita Faji, Lagos Island.<\/p>\n

Adebayo who was mentioned by the Punch’s report today on the incident did not give casualty figure which some unauthorised sources have been reeling out.<\/p>\n

The building collapsed at about 10am while pupils were taking their lectures.<\/p>\n

An eye witness who wished to be anonymous said, “There was pandemonium at Ita Faji when we heard a building had collapsed.<\/p>

“We heard it was a school and both parents and non parents ran to the scene because of the innocent children,”<\/p>\n

Another eye witness said, ” A lot of these buildings are weak but the owners won’t own up and call the government to help demolish.”<\/p>\n

The relevant authorities are yet to give any explanation on the possible cause of the collapse.<\/p>\n

Observers have however started imagining the number of pupils likely to have been involved and reeling out unconfirmed figures.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, untold number of pupils and other persons may have been trapped in the rubbles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
