Building collapses are frequent in Nigeria, where regulations are poorly enforced and construction materials are often substandard.

Authorities have so far only said that people had been killed, without giving a number, after the four-storey building the school was at the top of collapsed on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, one person was confirmed dead and nearly 50 rescued. More people have died after being taken to hospital, Adesina Tiamiyu, the general manager of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, told reporters on Thursday.
