As many as 100 children and many others were feared trapped on Wednesday after a building containing a primary school collapsed in Nigeria's commercial capital Lagos.
"It is believed that many people including children are currently trapped in the building," said Ibrahmi Farinloye, spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency's southwest region, adding that casualty figures were not yet available.
