Lagosians were still mourning those who died in a four-storey building that collapsed at Idi-Araba area of Lagos about 10 days ago when another building came down on Saturday.

The fresh incident however, involved a bungalow situated on Alhaji Kaka Ashipa Street, Ipaja, Lagos.

The sad incident, which immediately attracted the attention of neighbours and security officials, happened at about 3.10pm.

The building, which was under partial reconstruction at the time of the collapse, claimed the lives of two men.

Both victims whose names were given as Saidi Suleiman and Nasiru (surname unknown) were said to be workers at the site of the building.

Other persons were said to have sustained minor injuries and had been taken to a hospital for treatment.

Our correspondent learnt that the two victims died while sympathisers were taking them to the hospital.

The Idi-Araba incident officially recorded 11 deaths and tens of injured residents, some of whom are still receiving treatment at hospitals.

The state government had made known its intention to carry out a fitness audit of marked distressed buildings across the state.

This decision was necessitated by the incessant incidents of building collapse which the state had witnessed in the last few years.

Spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command, Mr. Frank Mba, confirmed the incident to our correspondent on Sunday.

Mba said the police and all other appropriate government agencies were collaborating to investigate the cause of collapse and bring culprit(s) to book.
