How man was tràpped in car during Lagos three-storey building collápse

In an emotional account, an eyewitness described how a man became trapped in his car when a three-story building collapsed at 10, Oremeta street, Berger, Lagos, on Saturday, April 19.

Speaking to the newsmen in the early hours of Sunday, the eyewitness—who requested anonymity—revealed that a family of three had been dining at the restaurant located within the collapsed building before tragedy struck.

According to him, the wife and their son had stepped out to get something, while the husband went to retrieve an item from his car parked within the compound.

“He was in the car when the building suddenly came down. He didn’t make it out,” the witness said, his voice heavy with emotion.

It was gathered that two people were rescued alive, while several others—including cooks working at the restaurant—remain trapped beneath the rubble.

A Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) official confirmed that some vehicles were also buried under the debris, adding that rescue operations are ongoing to reach the remaining victims.

Meanwhile, some hoodlums were seen looting food items from the restaurant’s kitchen, disguising their actions as part of the rescue efforts. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
