Rescue Race To Find Survivors In Collapsed Ikoyi Building

Rescuers are searching for survivors in the wreckage of a 22-storey block that collapsed under construction in Nigeria’s largest city of Lagos.

At least 10 people have died and dozens are missing.

Rescue workers at the site say they have heard more voices from under the rubble as nine people have been pulled out alive so far.

The partially built block of luxury apartments came down on Monday but what caused the collapse remains unclear.

Overnight, despite the heavy rain, people used floodlights to continue the search digging through debris and twisted metal.

Many relatives are now anxiously waiting near the site to hear whether their loved ones have survived.
