TEN people, including a four-year-old and a female corps member, were killed, while 22 others were rescued alive, with two others seriously injured when a building collapsed at Ebutte Meta area of Lagos State on Sunday night. This latest incident is coming barely six months after a 21-storey building collapsed in Ikoyi, leaving 44 people dead. Speaking with the Nigerian Tribune, a resident of a nearby building said the majority of the people in the neighbourhood were indoors when the building collapsed. The source, who did not want her name in print, said: “We are not eyewitnesses because we were not there when the building collapsed. The two severely injured were transferred to the Lagos State Teaching Hospital for further treatment.
