Has anyone experienced a similar elevator rescue or know what usually causes these malfunctions in older Lagos buildings?

I agree, maintenance seems overdue in many buildings. Glad the rescue ended well, but regular checks are overdue.

The report says the man was uninjured, but it doesn't mention any follow-up inspection or maintenance schedule for that elevator.

Fair point, but maybe Lagos Fire Service handle maintenance quietly without headlines.

Is it really fair to praise the fire service when elevator maintenance should be the building owner's responsibility?

Property managers should schedule regular elevator safety checks and inform tenants about emergency procedures to prevent similar incidents.
