LEADERSHIP gathered that the 4-storey building partially collapsed on Saturday evening before it finally caved in on Sunday afternoon, destroying another structure inside the compound.

The incident was said to have caused panic across the area, forcing hundreds of families and individuals residing in the building to vacate the premises immediately.

Confirming the development, the Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Dr Olufemi Damilola Oke-Osanyintolu, said: “Upon arrival of the Agency’s responders at the incident scene, a 2-storey building and a 4-storey building situated beside each other were found to have collapsed at the aforementioned address.

“Investigation conducted by the LRT revealed that the collapse could be attributed to ageing and poor maintenance on the part of the owner.

“Further investigation revealed that the staircase of the building caved in.

“Unfortunately, a male adult fell due to the impact of the collapse from the topmost floor, and has been taken to the hospital.

“Residents of the building have been asked to vacate the building under the supervision of the combined team of LASEMA, RRS, LABSCA and LNSC, in order to avert further secondary incidents.

“However, the said building will be pulled down as it has failed structural integrity test as confirmed by LABSCA official at the scene, hence posing a threat to the public and adjoining buildings.”

As of the time of filing this report, the agency’s response team, paramedics, RRS, LABSCA and LNSC were on ground at the incident scene working together to salvage the situation.
