Three days after a three-storey building under construction collapsed in Isolo Local Council Development Area, LCDA, another body has been recovered from the rubble, raising the body count to four, with 19 injured, all being male.
Confirming the recovery to the media, LASEMA General Manager, Mr. Adesina Tiamiyu, noted that the body was recovered during the post-disaster clearing of the collapsed building site at 4, Richard Abimbola Street, Ilasamaja.
According to him, “although the body is yet to be identified, it has been handed over to the State Environmental Health Monitoring Unit, SEHMU, for deposition at Mainland Hospital Mortuary, Lagos Mainland Local Government.”
Meanwhile, the state govern-ment has concluded plans to prosecute the developers for allegedly ignoring a ‘stop work’ order placed on the building.
