| four-storey building collapsed, Tuesday night. |
CRIES of agony, desperation and helplessness, yesterday, echoed from the debris of the four-storey building that collapsed at 4, Mogaji Lane in Ebute Ero area of Idumota, Lagos Island as trapped victims tried to reach out to their relations on the other side of the collapsed building.
Their chances of survival, however, remained bleak as rescue teams found it difficult to assess the affected building with earth moving equipment.
Frantic phone calls were made by those trapped in the rubbles. One of the trapped victims, a male, simply identified as Semiu, called one of his relations on phone, begging passionately for quick response. Semiu cried that he was running out of breath.
However, when his number was dialled again, there was no response. This caused an uproar, with the youths blaming government for being insensitive to their plight.
