Two more bodies have been recovered from the rubble of the collapsed 21-storey building on Gerrard Road in the Ikoyi area of Lagos, taking the death toll to 21 while nine persons have so far been rescued.
This comes as Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who visited the site of the crash, said there was a clear violation of the provisions of the building law in Lagos State, promising that those behind the construction of the high-rise tower would face prosecution in the court of law.
Governor Sanwo-Olu, who noted that a probe panel had been set up to determine what caused the building to crash, expressed optimism that more survivors would be found.
Sanwo-Olu later announced the name of survivors who are undergoing treatment at the Lagos Marina Hospital.
