Eyewitnesses say the exact number of people still buried remains unconfirmed. Rescue teams and volunteers are working to free anyone still trapped.

Did anyone mention spotting cracks in the walls or uneven floors before the collapse?

It's striking how neighbours and police watched the structure give way without any visible safety measures or immediate rescue gear on hand.

I'm not convinced neighbours were purely passive; perhaps rescue crews struggled with access or lacked proper tools, not simply unwillingness.

Authorities need to enforce regular structural audits and train local teams in emergency response for buildings around busy areas like Alakija Bridge.
