The death toll in the building collapse in Ilorin, Kwara State, has risen to five.
The deceased, including a mother and four children, have been buried according to Islamic rites.
This is just as the family has agreed to demolish the remaining part of the structure.
This came on the second day after the adjoining part of this building collapsed.
Family members and relatives were seen paying condolences.
The father and two surviving children are still receiving treatment in the hospital.
According to the head of the family, Mr. Lanre Qudus, the family has vacated the building and will soon demolish it since it has failed the integrity test.
The Chairman of the Kwara State Technical Committee of the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria, Bashir Lawal, said that the government needed to carry out an audit of the building in the state to forestall a recurrence.
The three-storey building collapsed at Popo Giwa, Ilorin, Kwara State, on Tuesday.
The incident occurred around 5 a.m. at No. 41 Popo Giwa Street, beside Gogoro Mosque, with eight members of the family initially trapped beneath the rubble.
An eyewitness, Abdulganiy Musa, had told Channels Television that the father of the family is a serving soldier, while the mother works as a casual staff member at the Michael Imoudu National Institute for Labour Studies, Ilorin.
