Rescuers on Thursday evening recovered and identified the remains of Femi Osibona the developer of the collapsed 21-storey building in Ikoyi, Lagos.

Newsmen gathered that his body was discovered before 7 pm and identified by officials of the Ministry of Physical Planning before it was evacuated in an ambulance.

NAN reports that more than 39 dead bodies had so far been retrieved from the rubbles as at Wednesday evening.

Many people are still believed to be trapped in the rubble, including a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Mr Ola Ogunfuwa.

The RCCG pastor in-charge of Living Water Parish in Ibafo, Ogun State, was working as a contractor on the project, but had been missing four days after the building collapse.

The South-West Coordinator of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Mr Ibrahim Farinloye, earlier confirmed that 32 dead bodies had been recovered, and nine others rescued alive with injuries.
