Two buildings collapsed in Ikorodu and Bariga areas of Lagos State killing one and injuring two people.
While the building at 19 Shogbawon Street, Bariga was a storey building, the one at Ikorodu was a three-storey building under construction.
The building at Bariaga last year collapsed killing one person before it was rebuilt by the owner of the structure.
Confirming the incident, the Information officer of NEMA, Mr. Ibrahim Farinloye said the buildings collapsed at the early hours of today following an early morning downpour.
He noted that the building had been sealed by the Lagos state government through the Lagos State Building Control Agency, LASBCA, to avert any further causality.
Farinloye added that one person identified as Joe was also rescued from the debris by the combined team of the Lagos State Emergency Management Authority (LASEMA) and National Emergency management Agency, NEMA and other security agencies.
He stated that the person rescued had been admitted at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, even as he stated that rescue operations had completed and the premises cordoned-off.
