At least three corpses were recovered from the rubbles of a 21-storey building that collapsed in Lagos on Monday.

The building, which was under construction, collapsed along Gerrard Road, Ikoyi, a highbrow area in Lagos.

Officials confirmed that three bodies have been recovered and have been handed over to a medical team of the Lagos State General Hospital.

The Coordinator of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Ibrahim Farinloye, said the bodies have been moved to a morgue owned by the state government.
