Residents said around 100 children had attended the school, which was on the top levels of the building, and that eight had been rescued so far.

A Reuters reporter saw a boy of 10 being pulled from the rubble, covered in dust but with no visible injuries, and the crowd erupted into cheers as another child was pulled out.

The Lagos emergency management agency said 10 people had been recovered alive since emergency responders arrived, and others beforehand. A Google photograph of the collapsed building from early 2017 shows no sign of a school inside. The fourth storey only had the words"Olulade Villa " painted across its balcony.
