A two-storey building collapsed in Lagos on Friday, killing one person and injuring three others, according to TheCable. The incident occurred on Akinola Street, the outlet reported.
TheCable did not provide further details on the victims, the condition of the injured, or the cause of the collapse in its initial report. It was also not immediately clear whether anyone else was trapped in the rubble or how many people were inside the structure when it came down.
The report places the collapse on Akinola Street, a location that has drawn attention online as word of the incident spread. TheCable published its account at 12:45 GMT on Friday.
Building collapses are a recurring concern in Lagos, Nigeria's largest city, though TheCable's report did not address the broader pattern or the circumstances specific to this structure. Details on the building's age, its use, or any prior structural warnings were not included in the available reporting.
Emergency response and the condition of the three injured people are the immediate points to watch. TheCable's report did not name the victims or specify which hospital received the injured, and no cause has been established. Further updates from the outlet and from Lagos authorities are expected to clarify the sequence of events and whether an investigation will follow.
