Lagos building collapse traps many

At least 11 people are known to have died but officials fear the death toll could be much higher. The residential building in the densely-populated Idi-Araba neighbourhood collapsed late on Tuesday. Its concrete floors concertinaed, trapping scores of people inside and sending twisted metal and rubble tumbling into the surrounding streets.
