Building collapses are frequent in Nigeria, where regulations are poorly enforced and construction materials often substandard.
ABUJA - At least six people have died in Nigeria's commercial capital of Lagos after the collapse of a high-rise building that was under construction, the state emergency services chief said on Tuesday.
State official Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu said a search and rescue effort had been launched for survivors of Monday's incident. Rescue workers used excavators to sift rubble in the glare of floodlights powered by generators as heaps of shattered concrete and twisted metal engulfed the site where the building once stood, as more workers watched.
