A spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Ibrahim Farinloye, said the injured have been taken to the hospital for treatment while the remains of the dead have been evacuated.

“So far, the bodies of an adult male and a young boy were recovered and five adult males with serious injuries have been rescued and taken to the hospital.
