Nigerian building collapse kills 16

Rescue workers searched through the rubble of a collapsed four-storey apartment building in Nigeria’s largest city today, pulling at least 16 bodies and dozens of survivors out of a mangle of debris.

Police beat back surging crowds searching for missing loved ones, and Lagos state Gov. Bola Tinubu vowed to find and prosecute those responsible for the apparently shoddy construction which brought down the building last night in Lagos.
