Two days after a three-storey building collapsed in Lagos State, trapping over 20 people to death, another building has collapsed at the Bode area of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

The Commissioner of Police in Oyo State, Mr Shina Olukolu, confirmed to Channels Television that three persons had been rescued so far.
