Lagos State government on Sunday said one more body has been recovered from the site of the collapsed 21-storey building on Gerrard Road, in the Ikoyi area of the state, bringing the total number retrieved from the rubble to 43.
This was just as the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, once again, commiserated with the families of those who died in the incident.
The State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Gbenga Omotoso, made this known in a release issued from his office, saying that the additional figure was retrieved from the collapsed building on Saturday.
