“The agency’s search and rescue team have searched the rubble and can confirm that there is no victim underneath the collapsed building.
“The area has been cordoned off and operation is still ongoing,” Oke-Osanyintolu said.
He added that the agency and other key responders were on high alert.
He also urged Lagos residents to remain calm and refrain from any non-essential movement due to the current frequency of flash floods across the state.
