One body has been recovered from the rubble of the collapsed building at 1st Avenue, Banana Island, Ikoyi.
Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) workers’ search and recovery efforts unearthed the remains of the adult male hitherto unaccounted for by site supervisors.
The excavation of the site, using the architectural designs, continues. The site has been divided into quadrants for a painstaking search and rescue operation. Quadrants 2 and 3 have been levelled to ground zero, with the search operation completed. Quadrant 4 is ongoing.
Twenty-five people were rescued from the site when the building went down on Wednesday. They are all doing fine.
When a roll call was conducted by the site supervisors, everyone was accounted for. Nobody could ascertain whether the victim, whose body was found this morning, was on the site – as of the time the roll call was taken.

Ihuoma Julia Nneji, daughter of ABC Transport CEO Frank Nneji, has filed a defamation lawsuit against social media critic Martins Vincent Otse, known as Verydarkman (VDM), and others. The lawsuit, lodged at the Federal High Court in Abuja, accuses VDM, journalist Kemi Olunloyo, and legal practitioner Henry Ikenna Uzochukwu of defamation.
The controversy began when VDM alleged that Nneji misrepresented herself as an American travel nurse, whereas she is reportedly a care worker. He also accused her of making unverified claims about her ex-husband’s family and undergoing multiple cosmetic surgeries, including a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
The lawsuit has sparked mixed reactions on social media. Some users express concern about the potential impact on ABC Transport’s reputation, while others criticize Nneji’s personal life choices.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the case highlights the growing intersection of social media discourse and legal action in Nigeria.
