US Mission in Nigeria has expressed its deepest condolences to family of those who lost their loved ones in the incident.

However, US on its official Twitter handle wrote: “The U.S. Mission to Nigeria offers its deepest condolences to the families of the individuals whose lives were lost during the building collapse at Ita-Faji, Lagos Island.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the families affected by this tragedy at this difficult time.”
