He said: \u201cThere are additional six people that we\u2019ve also been able to identify and who were on site when the building collapsed. They were taken to the Police Hospital in Falomo for treatment and some of them have been discharged. We have taken the full records of survivors in the incident. And this gives a total of 15 people rescued alive. We have a total of 42 bodies that have been recovered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among the latest survivors are a 38-year-old woman, Glory Samsom. Others are Ndajor Ahmed, Yunusa Abubaka, Ajiboye Habib, Jeremiah Samson, and one man identified as Emem.<\/p>\n

While most of them sustained varying degrees of injury, Samson, 20, was said to be in coma.<\/p>\n
