A two-storey building on Wednesday collapsed in the evening at Modupeola Street, near Mangoro Bus Stop in the Alimosho area of Lagos, leaving one person injured and five others rescued.
The incident happened at 6:00 p.m., trapping a 44-year-old man who sustained multiple fractures and bruises. 
He was promptly rescued by emergency personnel and transported by the Lagos State Ambulance Service (LASAMBUS) to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).
Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, confirmed that five other victims were rescued from the rubble and taken to a nearby private hospital for care.
“LASEMA and other first responders arrived at the scene swiftly, rescuing the trapped victim and five others,” Omotoso said, adding that investigations are underway to determine the cause of the collapse.
