According to reports, the two-storey building located at Chris Igadi Street, off Ago Palace Way, opposite Kilimanjaro/ AP filling station, collapsed in the wee hours of Saturday.

The Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, LASEMA, Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, said rescuers responded to the incident at about 3am on Saturday.

“On arrival, information gathered from the residents revealed that the building gave signs several hours before the building collapsed.

“Fortunately, nobody was trapped as all the occupants evacuated the area when the signs began two hours before the collapse.

“A head count of occupants was carried out to ensure no occupant is missing and the remains of the building were cordoned off,” he said.

He added that the operation was concluded at about 5:23am, adding that the site would be handed over to LABSCA and Ministry of Physical Planning for further investigation.

Fortunately, nobody was trapped as all the occupants evacuated the area when the signs began two hours before the collapse.

Lagos is an overated city despite all the huge allocations it geneeates. Too many substandard buildings are littered all over Lagos due to corruption and Tinubu's love for cutting corners

Nawa o. It's high time they demolish all those old houses in Lagos before the entire mainland dissolves into the earth...like Maggi dissolves in soup. Simple advice but some sentimental pple will come and insult their lineage, thinking they're insulting me.
