The National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, said yesterday that the 63rd body was recovered at 8.15pm adding that sniffer dogs aided yesterday’s recoveries.

However, in a clear case of providence at play, a woman reportedly walked out of the debris of the collapsed building all by herself at about 2 am yesterday, with only a broken wrist. This brings the total number of survivors to 131.

Besides, the Standards Organisation of Nigeria, SON, yesterday said it had commenced investigation  into the quality of the materials used for the collapsed building.
The organisation said it had been able to identify manufacturers of the  building materials used for the construction, adding that the next step would be to ascertain whether they were of approved specification or not.

The dark complexioned woman,  with an undisclosed identity,  that walked out of the debris, was said to have been heard shouting in a faint voice; ‘’Thank you Jesus’’ before she was carried by some rescuers on standby into a waiting ambulance.
