The corpse of Mr. Wale Bob-Oseni, a United States of America-based Nigerian businessman, have been recovered from the 21-storey building that collapsed on Gerrard Road in the Ikoyi area of Lagos State.
It was learnt that his body was recovered shortly after the body of Mr. Femi Osibona, the owner of the property was recovered on Thursday night. They were apparently together when the building crashed on them.
Bob-Oseni, a real-estate dealer, had been vacationing in Nigeria for months and was on his way back to the US on Monday when he got a call from Osibona to check out the project.
Both friends were subsequently trapped when the building collapsed.
The discovery of Bob-Oseni’s body put paid to the hope that he might still be rescued from the disaster.
The 21-storey building crumbled on Monday around 2 pm when Osibona, who owned the project, his clients and workers were on the site.
The bodies recovered on Thursday brings to 40 the total number of bodies recovered from the site.
