Searching for victims of building collapse in Nigeria

Abuja, April 22 (Prensa Latina) Rescuers are searching through the rubble of a building collapse in Lagos State (southern) last weekend, with an initial death toll of five.

Initial efforts by experts managed to extract 13 people alive from the ruins, but it is feared that an undetermined number may still be under the rubble, according to a report from the State Emergency Management Agency released to the media.

The disaster occurred by modifications to the three-story building to adapt it to the needs of a commercial establishment without the authorization and expertise of the authorities in charge of the matter.
