Mr Farinloye said that out of the two survivors of the collapsed building, only one of them was actually trapped while the second person, a teenager, escaped by sheer luck after he complained of hunger.

Mr Farinloye said that the operation has been concluded.
He said that rescue and recovery operation was carried out by NEMA, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, the fire service and the Police.
