    Many pupils are feared dead while others trapped after a school building located in Ita Faaji, Lagos Island, collapsed on Wednesday.

    The school is located within a three-storeyed building.

    The three-storey building came down around 10am shortly after classes 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.
