It is one week since the collapse of the 21-story building on Gerrard Road, in Ikoyi Lagos.

Though several people are still missing, emergency responders are now evacuating the rubble as family members continue the search for their loved ones.

It is not clear how many people were in the building when it caved in. Only 15 people have survived the collapse and 42 bodies pulled out of the debris so far. ARISE Correspondent Tokunbo Oyetunji has kept vigil at the site.
