One person has died and three others have been rescued alive following the collapse of a two-storey building under construction on Akinola Street, near Fadeyi Bus Stop, off Ikorodu Road, Lagos, early Friday morning.

The rescued victims, suspected to be construction workers, received immediate pre-hospital care from emergency responders before being transported to a hospital for further treatment.

Search and rescue operations remain ongoing as emergency teams work to determine whether more people are trapped beneath the rubble.

Responders at the scene include the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) Response Team, Lagos Response Unit (LRU) paramedics, Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Lagos State Ambulance Service (LASAMBUS), and officers of the Nigeria Police Force from Alagbon Division.

The cause of the collapse has not yet been established. Relevant regulatory agencies are expected to conduct a detailed investigation to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
