Ikoyi Building Collapse: Death Toll Hits 45 by Doraty1(f): 10:00pm On Nov 10, 2021
UPDATE ON IKOYI COLLAPSED BUILDING

CONTRARY to speculations, no directive has been given for the demolition of the two high-rise buildings standing at the site of the 21-storey collapsed building in Ikoyi, Lagos. The Panel of Inquiry instituted to establish issues surrounding the collapse of the building has continued to sit and an integrity test is yet to be conducted on the buildings. It is, therefore, wrong to assert or speculate that the buildings will be demolished.

The operation at the site of the collapsed building continues. Vehicular movement around the site has been smooth, following the reopening of the road.

Two more bodies were recovered from the site today. The recovery of the two bodies has brought to 45 the number of bodies retrieved from the site.

The identification of bodies of the victims of the incident has continued at IDH, Yaba, Lagos Mainland. Thirty-two families have come forward to submit samples for DNA to identify bodies that they wish to claim. In cases where identification is clear and there are no arguments, the bodies will be released to the families.

A committee to supervise the identification and release of the bodies has begun work. It comprises senior officials of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Justice.

The impact this would have on the Lagos property market is immense. Chai! People go begin fear to live or invest in high-rise buildings.

If you live abroad and you want to build, abeg come Naija come supervise your project o! No send any nigga your money, not even your father. Take leave from work, come home, supervise am to the level wey ya money reach and go back to hustling. Repeat the process until you complete the building.

Make e be like dat o!

Something somewhere went wrong and people lost their life. Sadly, we won't learn from this.

This is very tragic, greed is the greatest evil that gripped the heart of the ungodly,the end is always disaster,that guy that killed his second son at enugu coal camp was disappointed ,they wanted his first son but instead,he offered his second son ,thinking he can outsmart them.they rejected the lad ,when he was caught by his neighbors ,as they were beating him ,he kept saying the rituals didn't work ,he is still a keke driver,the person leaving in coal camp told me this ,well he was saved by police officers that was on patrol.. cos they wanted to burn Jim to death.greed is demonic

The good thing about this is that the developer who was chief in encouraging disregard for due process was himself caught up in the mess

That's a lesson . A harsh one. And a wake up call.

What are they going to do with the remaining two buildings now?

It will be a hard sell especially as it is said that they approved without insurance.

The govt is still yet to answer the question of approval. How 15 floors ended with additional 6 floors making 21 floors.

A proper inquiry is needed.

First EndSARS, now THIS, HABA!!!

May God bless the souls of the departed and comfort the families they left behind.


There is no sense in demolishing the other two buildings..

Proper integrity test should be done on them, of they are fine...they should be left alone for completion.
