JUST IN: Students escape death as a four-storey school building collapses in Lagos

Students and teachers of a school in the Ogba area of Lagos narrowly escaped death on Monday after a four-storey building housing the institution collapsed minutes after they evacuated the structure.

The building, which housed Yemco Nursery, Primary and Comprehensive College, caved in around noon, less than three minutes after students and staff were moved out of the premises.

The building was located at 11 Adudatu street, behind County Hospital, in the Aguda area of Ogba.
