In Nigeria, on the fifth day of the search, the death toll from the collapse during the construction of a 21-storey building in Lagos rose to 43.
About this citing a representative of the Nigerian Red Cross, The Associated Press reports.
It is noted that on Friday, November 5, rescuers removed the bodies of seven more people. One of the victims is Femi Osibona, director of the real estate company Fourscore Homes, which is in charge of construction.
Meanwhile, the search continues under the rubble. The exact number of people who may remain under the rubble is unknown. According to one of the construction workers who worked on the site, at the time of the incident, there were a hundred workers on the construction site.
Most of the repairmen were young people from the neighboring Republic of Benin who came to Nigeria to work, says Ekene Ivuozor, a construction worker who survived, because he did not go to work that day.
His 25-year-old brother is missing. Construction workers were paid about $ 5 a day, Ivuozor said.
Three days of mourning began in Lagos, the largest city in Nigeria with a population of over 14 million. Investigations into the cause of the collapse are ongoing.
In addition, local authorities have ordered structural integrity tests on two additional high-rise structures under construction within the compound where the collapse occurred.
