On Sunday, at least four people were confirmed dead in the latest building collapse in the Lagos Island area.<\/p>\n

The bodies were recovered from the rubble after an edifice collapsed on Saturday in Nigeria’s economic capital.<\/p>\n

Five people have been rescued and emergency workers continue to search for survivors.<\/p>\n

Quoting the Zonal Southwest Coordinator of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), local media reported that the three-storey building crumbled due to heavy rainfall.<\/p>\n

The building had been sealed off earlier because work violated safety regulations but the developer didn’t respect the interdiction, according to the BBC.<\/p>\n

Other agencies which take part in the rescue operations back the NEMA.<\/p>\n

A similar incident occurred two weeks ago. On May 1st, a three-story residential building collapsed in the Ebute-Metta area in Nigeria’s largest city. The collapse killed ten people.<\/p>\n

Building safety is often questioned in the country. A South African university researcher found that since 2005, at least one hundred and fifty-two buildings have collapsed in Lagos.<\/p>\n
