A member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Zainab Sanni Oyindamola, has been confirmed dead in the 21-storey building which collapsed in lkoyi, Lagos State, with the death toll increasing to 38.
According to reports gathered, the corp member who was posted to Borno State, however, got redeployed to Lagos due to insecurity issues in the north.
She was serving with the construction company, Fourscore Homes Limited, and was the only NYSC corp member who died in the building.
“She has been coming here since then. We don’t even know why they sent her here. She was originally posted to Borno but her mother redeployed her. If we had known, we would have allowed her to continue her youth service in that state.
“We asked her not to go to Borno because of the insurgency but she went there for the three-week orientation and came back alive only to come and die. She was a very humble and respectful girl, she would greet everybody when she arrived from work every day. She is the first daughter of her mother and they are just two,” a family source revealed to journalists.
According to the Acting Coordinator, National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, Lagos State Territory, Ibrahim Farinloye, revealed on Thursday that the death toll is now a total number of 38 (35 males and three females).
He said, “additional two male bodies were recovered some minutes ago (Thursday morning) making the death toll a total number of 38 (35 males and three females).”
Recall that on Monday, a 21 store building collapsed on Gerrard Road, in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State, the search is still ongoing to rescue the remaining trapped people.
