Synagogue: 131 Rescued Alive as Death Toll Hits 80
Public Relations Officer, National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Mr. Ibrahim Farinloye said in a statement today that 80 dead people have so far been recovered from scene of the operation.
He said that the total number of survivors so far remains 131 and that there are prospect that more bodies will be recovered as rescue operators work hard to round up the operation.

But on Monday, Nigerian Police Force (NPF) deployed 5 sniffer dogs to hasten operation when it became clear to rescuers that they were inching closer to area suspected to habours more people inside the collapsed guest house.
