Ikoyi building: Death toll hits 40 as developer, friend recovered dead

Emergency workers have recovered the corpses of the Managing Director, Fourscore Heights Limited, Mr Femi Osibona, and his friend, a United States of America-based Nigerian businessman, Wale Bob-Oseni, from the 21-storey building that collapsed on Gerrard Road in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State.

Checkout Magazine gathered that their bodies were found on Thursday by responders during the recovery operation at the scene of the incident.

Bob-Oseni, a real-estate dealer, was on his way back to the US on Monday when he got a call from Osibona to check out the project, according to reports.

Both friends were subsequently trapped when the building collapsed.

Meanwhile, no fewer than 40 corpses have been recovered from the site of the collapsed building since Monday.
