Four yet-to-be-identified persons lost their lives on Sunday when a three-storey building collapsed in the Obalende area of Lagos Island, Lagos State.

The PUNCH gathered that eight other persons were injured.

The General Manager, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, Olufemi Oke-Osanyintolu, confirmed the incident.

He noted that the affected three-storey building located at 62, Odo Street, Obalende, Lagos Island, was under construction when it collapsed.

He said, “Upon arrival at the incident scene, a three-storey building under construction was discovered to have self-collapsed.

The cause of the collapse is yet to be ascertained, but efforts are presently ongoing by LASEMA and other responders towards salvaging the situation.

“As of 05:40pm, a total of eight people (all males) have been extricated alive by the LASEMA Response Team and other stakeholders, and have been attended and quickly transferred to the hospital by LASEMA paramedics for further medical attention at Lagos Island General Hospital.

“Four persons (three males and one female) have so far been recovered dead and handed over to SEHMU at the incident scene.”

He added that the recovery operation is still ongoing.

This is the consequences of building without a good master plan, unprofessional building engineer, using substandard materials and trying to economise materials.

Government still not doing the best. All they know is to collect money and pay no attention to the nature of work going on, as well as the omonile

Run Run Run out of my mention

Believe me, we have greedy developers in that Lagos, that only think about themselves alone.

Most times even the land they are building on is so small, that would want to smuggle in 3-4 storey building just because of their selfish interest.

Even the government are not helping matters, they are only looking to enrich their pocket and leave their sole responsibility.


RIP to the dead

These buildings collapse is rampant. The state government should check the strength of buildings in Lagos and other states
