Barely 72 hours after a three-storeyed building collapsed in Ita Faji area, Lagos Island, another building has collapsed in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The incident occurred in Bode area, after Molete Bridge, of Ibadan on Friday.
At the time of this report, the casualty toll was not clear but a crowd was gathered at the scene of the building collapse.
Details later…
A survivor of the collapsed building, Mr. Moruf Abdulakeem, yesterday revealed that he was under the rubble for three hours and at a point feared death was near.
He said: “I was praying to God under the rubble, to accept and forgive me my sins, because I believed the end had come.”
According to him, he had gone out about 9.30a.m. to buy food and a bag of sachet water. He said that as he was mounting the staircase, almost getting to the third floor, the earth suddenly seemed to shift. The building collapsed. Abdulakeem, who is the head teacher of the Ohen Nursery and Primary School, teaches Basic Six.
He said: “Initially, when the building collapsed, I didn’t know where I was until after some minutes. I saw a ray of light; it was then I knew I was under the building. The first thing that came to my mind was what had happened to the pupils. I knew there was no way they could have escaped. I spent about three hours before I could see the ray light. Everywhere was dark; I heard cries of the pupils and the proprietress shouting Jesus! Jesus! I also heard the voice of Baba Ridwan. He was not too far from me under the rubble. We used to pray together in the same mosque. He was calling for help. When I heard his voice, I told him to pray, not to shout. “When I saw the ray light, I tried to raise my hand up. Someone touched me, and called my name. The person told me not to worry that they were coming to rescue me. It took the rescue team an hour before they could remove the slab that fell on me. “It was after they removed the slab that I felt some relief.
The heat under the rubble was too much. It got to a stage I could not breathe anymore. It was God that saved me. Before the rescue team came, I was getting weaker. I started praying to God to accept my soul. “I told Baba Ridwan to pray because at that point, God is the only one that can save us. I sustained injuries on my arm, ribs, chest and legs. Even right now, I’m in severe pains. “All the time I was under the rubble, I was praising God. I didn’t know what would happen next. When they eventually brought me out; it was like a dream to me. I thank God for sparing my life; unfortunately, I lost five of Basic Six pupils and four others.” Abdulakeem explained that at the Primary Health Centre, Onikan, where the rescue team took him to, the doctors asked him to bring N9,000 for X-ray and other treatment. He added: “Some of my co-teachers are in serious condition.
A teacher called Esther is presently in coma. Another of my colleague, Daniel and the proprietress died. Others are in critical condition.” Abdulakeem’s father, Salawudeen, said: “It’s God that saved my son from the collapsed building. I went to buy something when someone called me on the phone that a building had collapsed close to my house. I immediately left what I was doing and rushed to the scene. When I got there, I met some of my friends; they were assisting in the rescue operation. I didn’t even know that my son was under the rubble.
The last time I saw him, he was on his way to buy food. I didn’t know he had returned and reentered the school.” Salawudeen said that he believed that God saved his son, because he selflessly assisted in rescuing people, without knowing that his son was one of the victims.
He added: “I will always thank God for what he has done for me. Moruf is my first child.” Abdulakeem’s mother, who declined to mention her name or speak with our correspondent, was rolling on the ground, thanking God for sparing the life of her son.
The Lagos State Government has commenced the manual demolition of buildings marked on Freeman street at the Ita Faji area of Lagos Island.
This is coming after the tragic collapse of a three-storey building on Massey street in the same area, which caved-in on March 13, killing about nine people, while about 50 were rescued.
Governor Ambode had during an assessment tour to the site, vowed to demolish all illegal school buildings in the area. He made the pledge on Wednesday while responding to concerns raised by some residents on the increase in illegal schools when he visited the scene of a building collapse.
“So far, from what I have been briefed, we have rescued about 25 people and some are already dead but we were earlier informed that it was a school, the building is not technically a school, it is a residential building that was actually accommodating an illegal school so to speak on the second floor.
“Like we have said, we have been carrying out a lot of integrity tests on the buildings in this neighborhood and as you can see, some of them have been marked for demolition but we get resistance from landlords but we must continue to save lives and we would intensify our efforts to see that those have failed our integrity test, we would ensure that they are quickly evacuated and we bring the structures down,” he said.

A man has been arrested after raping his cousin’s girlfriend in Osubi, Delta State.
The victim was visiting her boyfriend, today, but only met the suspect at home. She was, however, waiting for her lover’s arrival when his cousin brought out a knife and threatened to stab her to death if not allowed to have his way.

40 people have died, including children, after a 28-year-old Australian white supremacist opened fire at a mosque in New Zealand during Friday prayers.
The gunman, who identified himself on Twitter as Brenton Tarrant from Grafton, New South Wales, live streamed the massacre which took place inside the Al Noor Mosque in Christchurch at about 1:30pm while the mosque was packed full with Muslim faithful who attended Friday prayers.
As the mosque attack was going on, there was another mass shooting outside Christchurch Hospital and multiple bombs were attached to three cars near the mosque.
Gunman Brenton Tarrant was seen in a video firing multiple shots at a crowd of Muslim worshippers as they try to flee. Witnesses reported hearing 50 shots from his weapons including a semi-automatic shotgun and a rifle.
A total of 30 people were killed at the Al Noor Mosque. Ten others died at the Linwood Avenue mosque, three of which were outside the mosque itself. A further 20 people were reported as seriously injured at the Christchurch Hospital emergency room.
Before the attack, the gunman posted an 87-page manifesto to Twitter hinting at a “terrorist attack.”
Four people are in custody, including three men and one woman. One of them was arrested while wearing a suicide vest, while a man wearing military fatigues was arrested outside Papanui High School.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said there were no further suspects at this stage.
Police have described the situation as “critical”. They have urged people near the area to stay indoors and report suspicious behaviour.

I am so sick to my stomach watching this. No child should be put under pressure, no child should be humiliated and made to suffer for wanting a better life. I’ve often wondered why flogging students who can’t pay or chasing them back home or in some cases publishing their names or calling them out on assembly ground is necessary, what point are you trying to prove? Embarrass their parents? Damage their self esteem, make them a laughing stock amongst their peers??? Of what use is this act exactly? Oh you flog or send them home so their parents can feel bad and embarrassed till they find the money right?
What is the child’s offense? Do they have a source of livelihood? Why do they have to suffer? Did they ask to be born?? It has been happening from time in memorial and I think it’s time we spoke against it. Why dehumanize them? Why embarrass them? Why flog them when they clearly can’t work to afford the school fees? Why??! I understand schools need money, I understand that some of these schools are not government owned and need funding to stay open but this is a shame, we must do something about it.
What happened to dialogue with the parents? What happened to working out a payment plan???? This young princess is the leader of tomorrow and her bravery and enthusiasm broke me, that should encourage them to nurture her and not break her down. Even if we find her confidence funny, her self esteem is being bruised by the school authorities who believe they have to flog her cos her parents can’t pay them to teach her. Sad ? ???
Pls let’s join hands in saving the situation, pls anyone who can connect with her family or any school interested in giving her a scholarship, let’s stop this barbaric act it’s disgusting”.
