More buildings razed as Lagos fire enters day two
Fifteen of the victims were treated on the spot and discharged while two including a fireman who had head injury were hospitalised, said Director General of the agency Dr. Femi Oke-Osanyintolu.
The Nation reports that the building which showed visible crack marks on Wednesday evening and had smoke coming from its roof collapsed while fire fighters were battling to contain another outbreak at Sunny Adewale. “It is not a government issue, it is all about our people having an attitude change. As we speak now, there is no heavy casualty. The four people that were taken to General Hospital yesterday, have left at the time I visited the place.”
“So far from the look of it we have got nine buildings all together, three completely collapsed and the remaining have had partial collapse and some of them have been touched. The fire that started Thuraday morning has been put out. No life was lost. The firemen have been working for over 24 hours.
