Officials in Nigeria have confirmed that people have died in the Wednesday collapse of a three-story school building in the capital, Lagos. Emergency official Shina Tiamiyu declined to give exact numbers to The Associated Press, saying the emphasis was on finding survivors. The BBC, citing emergency officials, reported that at least 10 people had died in the collapse, but did not say how many were children. Some witnesses estimated there were as many as 100 children in the school building at the time of the collapse. Over 100 people died in 2016 after a church roof collapsed in the south of Nigeria.
