Two children, a boy, and a girl have been confirmed dead after they were trapped in a building that collapsed on Wednesday in Lagos State.

The building was reportedly hit by a mudslide resulting from heavy rainfall on Wednesday afternoon in the nation’s commercial capital city.

Ten others were also injured in the building collapse as confirmed by the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA).
