A three story building has collapsed in Lagos, Nigeria. The top floor held a primary school that could hold up to 100 students. 24 children have been removed. A total of 40 others have been removed. The number of dead and injured are unknown. The tally will change as remains of the building are removed. Most unfortunately, the number of involved children will become more apparent as parents try to find the children.
The victims, families, and friends will need your prayers. If you do not pray, please keep them in your positive thoughts. If you can do more, see the last link. The link is to the Nigerian embassy and you can ask them what you can do to help.
