Rescuers recover eight bodies and save 37 people from the wreckage of a collapsed four-storey building in Nigeria's Lagos
As rescuers worked furiously to reach those inside, distraught parents begged them to find their children.
School bags, toys and clothes could be seen among the piles of rubble as a bulldozer tried to clear a path through some of the wreckage to help the rescue efforts. Many locals said that the building, which was in an advanced state of disrepair, had been "earmarked" for demolition by the authorities in Lagos state.
"We get resistance from landlords but we must continue to save lives," he said, pledging to step up measures against all structures that failed to meet the correct standards. Ambode said they would be "quickly evacuated" and demolished.One of them is Lagos Island, a densely-populated area which is one of the city's oldest neighbourhoods.
