At least two persons are battling for life at a private hospital after a school-turned-residential building in the Ketu area of Lagos State partially collapsed on Sunday.
The building housing over 800 rooms with hundreds of residents known as Agboye Estate on Oduntan Street, Ketu, first caved in on Saturday afternoon following hours of rainfall that greeted most parts of Lagos.
On Sunday afternoon, as residents were still trying to salvage their belongings, the building crumbled again, destroying another structure inside the compound before collapsing completely.
According to Ibrahim Farinloye, the National Emergency Management Agency Lagos territorial coordinator, “It was a partial collapse. At Agboye Estate in Oduntan Street, Ketu.
“Two people had partial injuries and responding to treatment. It was a school turned residential housing with more than 500 rooms.
“It partially caved in yesterday (Saturday) afternoon,” he said.
