Fresh facts have emerged on the most recent incident of collapsed building in Lagos State.
Daily Trust reports that the house located at 2/4 Oye Sonuga Street, Palm Avenue, Mushin, caved in on Friday, killing four persons.
Emergency officials who spoke off the record told Daily Trust that two of the victims – a male and female – were engaged in intercourse when the incident happened.
“In fact they were naked when their bodies were recovered,” one official told our correspondent pleading anonymity.
As of Friday, the emergency responders from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the state emergency management agency (LASEMA) and the Fire Service had reached ground zero with four bodies recovered while one person was rescued.
The victims were said to be prostitutes and their ‘clients’.
Another official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to talk to the press, said, “We were shocked by what we saw at the scene. The last two victims whose dead bodies were recovered were actually having having sexual intercourse. The man was on top of the prostitute when the building collapsed. They both died.”
Another official said, “The place was used as a Club House/Motel and the female victims were actually prostitutes; the last female we recovered was with a man. They were having a nice time when we recovered them.”
As of the time of filing this report, the families of the victims were yet to be found.
