Building collapse in Lagos kills a sex worker and her client during sex

There has been new information revealed on the most recent building fall in Lagos State.

Four persons were killed on Friday when a house at 2/4 Oye Sonuga Street, Palm Avenue, Mushin, fell, according to Daily Trust.

Two of the victims, a man and a female, were having sex when the incident happened, according to emergency professionals who spoke to Daily Trust off-the-record.

In reality, the officer said, appealing for anonymity, “they were naked when their remains were retrieved.”

Four bodies had been found and one person had been rescued by the time ground zero was reached by the emergency responders from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the state emergency management agency (LASEMA), and the Fire Service on Friday.

It was claimed that the victims were prostitutes and their “customers.”

We were stunned by what we observed at the scene, said another official who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. The last two victims, whose bodies were found dead, were actually engaged in sexual activity. When the building fell, the man was above the prostitute. Both passed away.

The last girl we retrieved was with a man, and the location was utilized as a club house/motel. According to another officer, the victims were truly prostitutes. When we found them, they were having a good time.

The victims’ families had not been located as of the time this article was filed.

To learn more about the victims’ relatives, the source added, “we have to get in touch with their prostitute colleagues there.”

LASEMA said the recovered dead bodies, which comprised of two adult males and two adult females, “were dug up from beneath the rubbles of the collapsed portion of the 3-storey building after the Agency deployed its sophisticated echo and life detection equipment which pinpointed exact location of the trapped victims, while the light and heavy equipment were deployed in accordance with the path that was charted by the echo machine.”

Okunbor Nosa, spokesman of LASEMA, in a statement said the collapsed portion of the old house was recently constructed and attached to the original structure said to be over 40 years old.

The state Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Engr. Omotayo Bamgbose-Martins, who visited the scene directed that the adjoining building be pulled down immediately to forestall further collapse.

LASEMA statement added that the State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) and the Materials Testing Laboratory, have been directed to unravel the immediate and remote cause (s) of the collapsed building.
