'Many' pupils feared dead as three-storey primary school collapses in Nigeria

                                    
Many children are feared dead after a building collapsed on top of a primary school in Nigeria.

The three-storey building came down around 10am on Wednesday in the city of Lagos, shortly after lessons started and while the classrooms would have been full.

At least ten children have already been pulled from the rubble, according to local reports, but many more are feared dead.

The school was located on the ground floor of the building, with two more storeys above it. It was not immediately clear what those floors were used for.


Prince Adams, who lives in the area, told Punch Nigeria: 'It is terrible. Parents are crying. I can't withstand the gory sight.'
