Four more bodies have been recovered from the rubble of the old Great Nigeria Insurance building on Lagos Island, raising the confirmed death toll to twelve.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said the bodies were found during controlled debris removal and handed over for forensic identification.
Heavy-duty equipment from the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation is aiding rescue and recovery operations, which remain challenging due to the unstable 23-story structure.
The Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) is coordinating the efforts with other emergency responders, while military and police personnel maintain tight security around the site.
Authorities are planning safe excavation, structural assessment, and eventual rehabilitation of the building.
