SAT, APRIL. 15 2023-theGBJournal |One body has been recovered from the rubble of the collapsed building at 1st Avenue, Banana Island, Ikoyi, according to officials of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA).
LASEMA workers’ search and recovery efforts unearthed the remains of the adult male hitherto unaccounted for by site supervisors, according to the statement released late Friday by Gbenga Omotoso HC, Information & Strategy.
The excavation of the site, using the architectural designs, continues. The site has been divided into quadrants for a painstaking search and rescue operation. Quadrants 2 and 3 have been levelled to ground zero, with the search operation completed. Quadrant 4 is ongoing.
Twenty-five people were rescued from the site when the building went down on Wednesday. They are all doing fine.
When a roll call was conducted by the site supervisors, everyone was accounted for. Nobody could ascertain whether the victim, whose body was found Friday morning, was on the site – as of the time the roll call was taken.
